Pretzels

 

Have the children pretend to be pretzels as you give the following direction:

1. "Let's roll the dough into long strips" (stretch hands overhead and roll around).
2. "Wrap your arms, legs, head and body any way at all and hold that position while you bake" (try to pull an arm or a leg), "if the pretzel can be unwound it's not baked yet".
3. "If it doesn't move when I push or pull, it's baked and I'll slide the pretzel to the side of the room. Someone can come by and buy you."

Have each child make their own soft pretzel for a snack. Give each a piece of frozen bread dough and have them roll the dough into long strips and twits to shape. Bake.
