Ed. I didn't get any script with these pictures... but who needs it? Our little cooks are totally engrosed in their tasks and, if you look at the archives from 2010 you will see that this activity was enthuiastically addressed by our Nursery children on that occasion as well.

Anyway, it is another chance to get your hands into something sticky and gooey which has a productive outcome and an interesting storyline.

This activity is run in concert with the telling of the story of The Gingerbread Man
...which even I know!

Spoiler - 'the fox did it!'

...but what did the children learn from this activity?
