Hi there! Today, we’re going to talk about something fun and yummy called “Hot Cross Buns.” Have you ever heard of them? Let’s find out more!
Hot Cross Buns are a special kind of sweet bread. They have a little cross on top, which makes them look extra special. People love to eat them, especially during special times of the year like Easter.
There’s a fun song about Hot Cross Buns. It goes like this:
Hot Cross Buns, Hot Cross Buns,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot Cross Buns.
Hot Cross Buns, Hot Cross Buns,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot Cross Buns.
Give them to your daughters,
Give them to your sons,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot Cross Buns.
Hot Cross Buns, Hot Cross Buns,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot Cross Buns.
Hot Cross Buns taste sweet and a little spicy. They often have raisins or currants inside. Yum!
Imagine we are bakers in a kitchen. We mix flour, sugar, and spices. Then, we add raisins and make little buns. Finally, we draw a cross on top with icing. Now, they’re ready to eat!
Did you know that people have been making Hot Cross Buns for hundreds of years? They are a tasty treat that many people enjoy.
If you ever get to try a Hot Cross Bun, you can share it with your family and friends. It’s fun to share yummy things with people we love!
Thanks for learning about Hot Cross Buns with me. I hope you had fun!
Hot Cross Bun Art: Let’s get creative! Use playdough or clay to make your own Hot Cross Buns. Roll the dough into small balls and use a plastic knife or a craft stick to make a cross on top. You can even add pretend raisins using small beads or buttons. Once you’re done, share your creations with the class and talk about what makes each bun special!
Taste Test Adventure: If possible, try tasting a real Hot Cross Bun with your family. Pay attention to the flavors and textures. Is it sweet? Can you taste the spices? How do the raisins feel when you bite into them? Share your thoughts with your family and see if they taste the same things you do. If you can’t try a real one, imagine what it might taste like and draw a picture of it!
Hot Cross Bun Hunt: Go on a Hot Cross Bun hunt in your home or classroom. Look for objects that are shaped like a bun or have a cross on them. It could be a round pillow, a ball, or even a piece of paper with a cross drawn on it. How many can you find? Share your discoveries with your friends and talk about why they remind you of Hot Cross Buns.
