pancake cutting

As we have been studying Michigan this week, we decided to have pancake cutting as a food preparation work in the practical life area.  The child takes a warm pancake to the table on the tray and pours a little maple syrup on top. 

We then give a lesson on how to cut a pancake.  This comes in handy when cutting any type of food. 

Place the fork down into the pancake with the non-dominant hand.  Holding the knife in the other hand, move it back and forth. 

Of course, the best part! Enjoy!
