Let’s Play

Imaginative play prop

The patty pans and baking trays are a great imaginative play prop for making cupcakes.  As we played we sang the nursery rhyme song Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake.

Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake, baker’s man

Bake me a cake as fast as you can;

Pat it and prick it and mark it with a ‘B’,

And put it in the oven for Baby and me.
