Gingerbread cookie recipe for Holidays!

Thank you so much for participating in the many events we had in December. In particular, the Open Class cooking time where you made gingerbread cookies with your child! We made great memories! Some parents asked us for the recipe so they can make it at home again! We will share the recipe here so you can enjoy baking some yummy cookies during winter break! Have a wonderful holiday season with your special gingerbread cookies!

12月はたくさんの行事へのご参加ありがとうございました。なかでも、保育参観の際に親子で作ったジンジャーブレッドクッキーは嬉しいことに好評でした!レシピをもらってまたお家でも作りたい!という声がありましたので、シェアさせていただきます。冬休みの間にクッキーを焼いて、素敵なホリデーシーズンをお過ごし下さい🎅🏽💖

Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until they become a slightly darker shade. If your shapes are smaller, check them after 7-8 minutes. Cool slightly, then lift on to a wire rack to cool.

オーブンで10〜12分、少し濃いめの色合いになるまで焼きます。 形状が小さい場合は、7 ~ 8 分後にチェックしてみて下さい。 焼いた直後は少し柔らかいですが、冷ますとサクサクのクッキーになります。

You can enjoy the gingerbread biscuits as they are or add some icing decorations.

ジンジャーブレッドクッキーは、そのままでも楽しめますが、保育参観の当日は、チョコレートペンを使ってデコレーションを楽しみました。

材料やデコレーションを自分なりにアレンジして、特別なジンジャーブレットクッキーを作って楽しむのも良いですね。いいアイディアが思いついたら、ぜひAMICUSのみんなにもシェアしてね😊

K1 friends also enjoyed playing a Christmas BINGO Game. Everyone won a prize. It was so fun!

最近のK1 friendsは、クリスマスやお正月に向けて、工作や音楽やアクティビティーに毎日楽しみながら取り組んでいます。先日は、Christmas BINGO game を楽しみました!

Tomorrow will be our last school day of 2023. We will enjoy making a lot of fun memories!

明日は2023年最後の登園日!みんなで笑顔いっぱい楽しい思い出を作ろうね!💖

𝐊𝟏 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐮𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫!!

K1 friends have been taking care of our plants. They do watering, weeding, recovering the soil and talking to plants like “大きくなぁれ” “おいしくなぁれ” every day. We were able to harvest two cucumbers last week because they did good taking care of their plants! もしかすると、植物たちがみんなの声を聞いていたのかもね😘 Good job K1!!!👍🏽

We ate the freshly harvested cucumbers for afternoon snack. It was super yummy!! Also, more cucumbers are still growing and we might be able to harvest them this week! Grow plants, grow!!💕
