Little Red Hen and Making Bread
The Little Red Hen is a class folktale story. It is one that is fun to read and learn from. We read the book and learned about making bread and the steps that we did.
We read The Little Red Hen (Little Golden Book)
Amelia put the ingredients in the mixer. We talked about the sizes of cups and how many of them we put in each time.
The dough was mixed and covered to rise.
After a second mixing we cut up the dough into 5 parts and kneaded it.
We baked the bread. Afterwards Amelia put a glaze on the top of the bread.
This was a fun process and got Amelia involved a lot. Mary watched from the side and looked at the mixer while we made the dough. After it was all done the girls enjoyed the results.

What a wonderful way to extend the book. I bet the bread was wonderful!
Thank you for linking to Read.Explore.Learn.
Everyone enjoyed the bread and it was fun. We also did a trip to a grist mill to see how flour is made.
Fantastic. What a wonderful thing to do with the kids.. I make bread for the mission here to help feed the needy. Your kids might enjoy that also. Fun .
