Make some tasty tiny toasties Activity
Making kai together can be fun and educational.
Why do it?
- Home is the first learning place and the whānau are the first teachers a child has.
- A young child doesn’t always need special learning activities. Simple everyday household activities and routines can provide learning experiences in a familiar environment.
- Having someone who loves them caring and nurturing them is exactly what they need, as it gives them a sense of belonging.
- By learning what adults do, children learn these skills too.
How to do it
You’ll need: A muffin tin, 12 slices of wholemeal bread (crusts removed), your favourite fillings (see below) and some grated cheese.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C, grease your tin and press in your bread slices.
- Evenly spoon in your favourite fillings:
- Spag-tom nom nom: Mix a chopped tomato and a can of spaghetti.
- Eggy-licious: Beat 2 eggs with 1/2 a cup of milk, then add cooked veggies and maybe some ham.
- Mince or beans: What a yummy way to use your leftovers!
- Top with grated cheese then bake for 15 minutes.
Tip: Cool for a few minutes before serving.
