In Nursery, we have been making sandwiches to support the children’s understanding of instructions, fine motor development and practical life skills. The children are encouraged to follow simple, step-by-step instructions, such as spreading jam, and placing the bread together. These activities help develop hand-eye coordination, grip strength and control when using utensils. Sandwich making also provides opportunities to develop independence, make choices, explore different foods and build confidence in preparing simple snacks, while practising listening, communication and turn-taking skills.
