Baking Christmas Eve Cookies – educational program
Almost for ten years now, from late November till Christmas, Malsena invites pupils of various schools and kindergartens from all around Lithuania to participate in non-profit educational program where they learn to make traditional Christmas Eve cookies.
We are really glad that every year we get to educate a new wave of Little Bakers – this year it’s more than 1 500 pupils! All Christmas Eve cookies baked by the little ones could be lined in a 7 000 m length snake, weighing almost 300 kg!
In 2016, the honorable name of Little Bakers of Christmas Eve cookies was given to children from cities and towns of:
Vilnius with 446 little bakers and 1 784 m cookie snake, weighing 90 kg
Vievis – 314 little bakers, 1 256 m snake, weighing 63 kg
Kaunas – 149 little bakers, 596 m snake, weighing 30 kg
Elektrenai – 90 little bakers, 360 m snake, weighing 18 kg
Not to forget schools and kindergartens of Kaisiadoriai, Lentvaris, Pylimai, Rumsiskes, Trakai, Trakau Voke and Ukmergė.
Very warm Chirstmas greetings from Malsena!
