What better cookie to have to celebrate the holiday season than the traditional gingerbread cookie? Today, the children helped to measure, pour and stir our ingredients. We discussed wet and dry ingredients, smelled some of the ingredients (molasses anyone?!), and talked about getting the dough to just the right consistency to roll and stamp. The children enjoyed all of the stirring involved and cracking the eggs, but I think kneading the dough, stamping out the gingerbread, and decorating topped their list! Everyone brought home a festive, tasty treat!
