Waldorf School of Cape Cod Kindergarten teacher, Jennie Ellis, shares her approach to making bread with young children. 

"When we bake bread in our class, it takes us time as we get all the ingredients gathered together and measure them out, this is a great way to work in math and following simple directions, says Jennie, "This bread needs to rise twice so it helps build up that patience muscle!"

Jennie recommends that parents let their child or children help with preparation, clean up, and all the steps in between. She also shares the song she sings during dough kneading and the ingredients and directions.
