Flannel: “Five Plates of Cookies”
Five plates of cookies – I can’t bake any more!
Give one away, and now there are four.

Four plates of cookies, colorful to see;
Give one away, and now there are three.

Three plates of cookies, shall I give one to you?
I think I will, and now there are two.

Two plates of cookies for lots of fun.
Give one away, and now there is one.

One plate of cookies left, as you can plainly see –
That is the one I’m taking home with me!

Baking Story Time – Everybody

Opening Song

Book: Yum Yum! What Fun! by Mara Bergman

Song: “This Is The Way We Bake a Cake”
This is the way we mix the batter, mix the batter, mix the batter
This is the way we mix the batter, when we bake a cake!

This is the way we spread the frosting, spread the frosting, spread the frosting
This is the way we spread the frosting, when we bake a cake!

This is the way we eat our piece, eat our piece, eat our piece
This is the way we eat our piece, when we bake a cake!

Book: Mr. Cookie Baker by Monica Wellington

Felt Story: “Five Little Cookies”
Five little cookies, with frosting galore
Cookie Monster ate the pink one, then there were four.
Four little cookies, two and two, you see,
Cookie Monster ate the green one, then there were three.
Three little cookies, but before I knew,
Cookie Monster ate the blue one, then there were two.
Two little cookies, oh, what fun!
Cookie Monster ate the orange one, then there was one.
One little cookie, watch me run!
Cookie Monster ate the red one, then there were none.

Song: “Hands Are Clapping”(Tune: “Skip To My Lou”)
Hands are clapping
Clap clap clap
Hands are clapping
Clap clap clap
Hands are clapping
Clap clap clap
Clap your hands my darling!

Additional verses:
Feet are stomping…
Arms are flapping…

Book: Baby Cakes by Karma Wilson

Fingerplay: Make a Cake
Mix the batter, stir the batter (make a stirring motion with one arm/hand)
Shake some flour in (make a shaking motion with one arm/hand)
Mix the batter, stir the batter (make a stirring motion with one arm/hand)
Place it in a tin (pretend to pour)

Sprinkle in some chocolate chips (pretend to sprinkle)
Put it in to bake (open both hands, palms up, and slide them forward)
Then open wide the oven door (pretend to open door)
And out comes the cake! (open both hands, palms up, and slide them forward)
