swiss cheese slices
american cheese slices


Recipe



Give each child a piece of bread. Have them place a slice of swiss cheese on the bread. Give each child a slice of American cheese. Have them cut the cheese into three rows and three columns with a plastic knife to make 9 squares of cheese.

Each child should eat the top and bottom middle squares and the left and right middle squares. Have each child place the American cheese squares in the middle and top corners on top of the Swiss cheese slices to resemble a "nine patch" quilt.

Toast the bread slightly for a wonderful snack. As you can see, this activity requires the use of a lot of positional words. It fits in great with a quilt unit or fraction unit, and provides the children with a chance to practice cutting with a knife.

"I used this with my four-year old class during a quilt study and they loved it!" - Stacy
