“Deviled eggs” or better known as “Stuffed eggs” was served at Baking Bees last week.

Peeling, cutting, scooping, mixing, mashing, stirring and planning…these essential kitchen skills all formed part of the process of creating these yummy eggs!

Our little chefs also did the “egg in water” experiment to see whether the eggs were fresh. We had so much fun predicting what would happen if we drop the egg in water! 🥚

💛Did you know that soaking sliced apples in lemon juice prevents them from turning brown as it deactivates the enzyme that causes browning. Soaked apples stays crisp and fresh for longer. Lemon juice preserves the flavour and vitamins of the fruit.

💛Our bakers made their own lemon juice water which they used to soak their apples in. Squeezing fruits help children develop fine motor skills, and strengthen their hands and wrists. These muscles are crucial for everyday activities such as writing, cutting, buttoning clothes and using utensils.

~Rainbow sandwiches~

This week our little bees learned how to spread a sandwich. This is such a beneficial activity for little ones, it’s not only an important skill in life, but helps develop skills such as fine motor skills, allows them to explore different textures and flavours and encourages independence!

The children each chose a design for their sandwiches, and used cookie cutters to create a design on their sandwiches! Using cookie cutters in the kitchen is a great way to encourage planning, hand-eye-coordination and has a calming effect on little ones! 🐝💛
