Justin Fletcher's dances are based on tasty recipes with eggs - boiled eggs and soldiers!
2. Boil it, beat it, toss it, eat it!
In part two of this unit the children 'egg-speriment' with egg recipes, dancing as boiled eggs and egg-soldiers, then performing actions for mixing, cooking, tossing and catching pancakes. They also serve up their egg-creations in a restaurant scene as waiters and customers.
