We have decided to do a series of activity and crafts articles to help you and your toddler make the most of the Nursery Rhymes we all know and love. Here we are looking at Pat a Cake, Pat a Cake.

“Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man”, “Pat-a-cake”, “patty-cake” or “pattycake” is one of the oldest and most widely known surviving English Nursery Rhymes.

Modern lyrics:

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man. (Alternate clapping baby’s hands and yours)
Bake me a cake as fast as you can; (Pretend to stir bowl, then prick cake)
Pat it and prick it and mark it with B, (Make a ‘B’ in the air)        Put it in the oven for baby and me. (Alternate clapping baby’s hands and yours)

 

Things to make and do:

  1. Bake some cupcakes and have your child decorate them with icing  and /or sweets, chocolates etc
  2. Find out about Bakers. What is their job, where do they work and what do they make? Try to visit a bakery.
  3. Sing the rhyme together and do the actions.
  4. Make colourful and fun fake cupcakes. (see How to make Fake Cupcakes)
  5. Let’s pretend: Set up a pretend kitchen with tools and ingredients for baking and cooking. Put an apron and bakers hat on your child and let them ‘make’ you some delicious treats!
  6. Make a paper bakers hat (see How to make a Baker’s Hat)
  7. Decorate an apron
  8. Sing:  Hot Cross Buns, 5 Currant Buns in Baker’s shop and Pop a Little Pancake ( see words)

About Carla

At some point in my teaching career I came to realise how little ‘real’ information there was for parents. I would get the same questions from friends and parents mainly about keeping the children learning and engaged and this only increased when I gave birth to my daughter. Read more about me and what motivated me to start Toddlebabes.
