Baking Activities for Every Teachable Moment
Baking activities can be quick and easy. They can help introduce a lesson or fill extra minutes. Culinary baking activities reinforce earlier learning with fun activities to create “teachable moments” for classrooms, afterschool, community groups or even at home. Home Baking Association members and partners provide a variety of resources to share the many benefits of baking with children!

In the Kitchen with Sharon
|
|
May is the perfect month to turn pinning into doing. Celebrating good times is happening weekly if not daily and calls for a wide variety of personal touches.
Make your first touch small. Whether it’s a school party or a family event, make the treats1950’s-sized or mini-bites when compared to today’s portions.
Make the second touch “serve safe” as you cut and serve treats to friends, family, or the public. Take a refresher course at our favorite site
Don’t forget Memorial Day is May 30th!
Let your final touch be Memorial Day. First interview staff or residents at senior care centers about their favorite baked item. Bake it and return to make a living memory with our often forgotten elders, so many of whom are veterans. Baking muffins is always a good idea!
Don’t forget the selfies of cleaning up the kitchen!
Hosting, serving and celebrating are all teachable moments for making people welcome and appreciated. Use the Guidelines for Manners chart above to help young and old remember the basics.

What is a Baker's Dozen?
Baker's Dozen: The “baker’s dozen” refers to providing 13 baked items for the price of 12 and originated as a way to avoid shortchanging the customer. Bakers who shorted (cheated) customers could be punished severely—such as losing a hand to an axe! This allowed that one of the 13 could be lost, eaten, burnt, or ruined in some way, leaving the baker with the original legal dozen. The practice can be seen in the Baker Guild codes of the Worshipful Company of Bakers in London, 12th century.
