(Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It)
I'm a child who arrives on the dot,
Oh yes, I am.
I'm a child who arrives on the dot,
Oh yes, I am.
When I come at ten o'clock,
I just love to sing a lot.
I'm a child who arrives on the dot,
Oh yes, I am.
Craft: Make cookies, cake, etc. with two recipes
1. One recipe will have one main ingredient missing, e.g. eggs, salt. The other recipe will be made accurately. It will be necessary to have the ingredients for both recipes all measured out and ready to pour into the mixing bowls.
2. Begin with making the two recipes and give the lesson while they are baking.
3. Let the children taste the one that was inaccurately made first. Be sure to stress that it was not the group's fault it tastes so bad, but the recipe was inaccurate and not exact. However, many times we do not do things in a very exact way and we could cause such results by not doing them exactly.
3. Let the children taste the recipe that was accurately made so they can taste the difference.
