'Happy face' sandwiches, Week 4
As part of our learning about feelings children were offered to eat 'happy face' sandwiches. Getting them involved in making the sandwiches didn't quite work but they enjoyed watching the process of creating smiley faces on the pieces of bread using condensed milk.
They looked a bit apprehensive of touching the sandwiches at first but once they tried a bit they just loved them. When I offered some more condensed milk, everybody shouted 'Yes please!' So nobody minded that the actual smiley face on their sandwiches was disappearing, they just wanted more condensed milk. Everybody asked for seconds and received an small extra piece each. Having nice food does make us happy in a way, doesn't it? Especially when we are having nice desserts.
