Baking Gingerbreads (Pepparkakor)
We baked gingerbreads (pepparkakor) for Lucia Fika. The children rolled the dough and made different shapes of Cookies (hearts, pigs, Christmas trees, stars, gingerbread man, elks etc.) using cookie cutter. The children learned about counting, measuring and shapes. Some of them were very excited to recognize the shapes and tell the teachers what they were. Rolling the dough and making different shapes with cookie cutters helped them to develop their muscle control and eye-hand coordination. The activity also helped them to develop confidence in their abilities and as well as motivated them to work in a team.
Purpose:
To develop their fine motor skills.
To develop their understanding of shapes, quantity, numbers etc.
Lpfö:
Feel a sense of participation in their own culture and develop a feeling and respect for other cultures.
