🍪 Christmas Treat – Decorating Gingerbread 🎄

As part of our Christmas celebrations, the children had great fun decorating their own gingerbread biscuits. They used icing, chocolate chips, and colourful sprinkles to design and decorate their festive treats.

This activity supported several important skills:

  • Fine motor development – carefully spreading icing and placing decorations

  • Creativity and design – choosing how to decorate their gingerbread

  • Following instructions and sequencing steps during the activity

The children were very focused and excited to create their own treats. It was a lovely hands-on activity that combined creativity, independence, and Christmas joy. 🎄✨
