Bread Making and Hunt

See if you can get a family member to donate a Bread making machine or go ahead and purchase one(you can get a nice one for about $40.00).
Buy different types of boxed bread mix-rye,wheat,cheese,jalapeno,white,sourdough,honey berry,tomato& cheese
Gather your residents around and put the bread mix in the maker and start the bread maker(depending on the type of bread,it usually takes 2-3 hours for the program to end).While you wait for the bread to bake, get different magazines and have your residents look for different items from the magazines.Look for different types of breads,cakes,pies,cookies,muffins,ect.
Make up a list before hand and let them find everything on the list.Then have residents cut out the pictures and paste onto a large construction paper to make a collage.
Example list:
"Today we are making Blueberry bread"
Look for and cut out pictures of:
eggs
butter
milk
flour
oil
blueberries
muffin pan
oven
sugar

Later on when your bread is done,let your residents enjoy a piece with butter.

This activity is great because it lets off the baking bread aroma throughout the facility.
