Baking with kids -- Hilary's Home Daycare & Preschool
One of my favorite things about having family childcare in my own home is that we are completely free to follow the interests of the kids. Today, one of our friends asked if we could bake something for our snack...so of course, we did! We decided on these Double Chocolate (black bean!) muffins. It was a fun culinary experiment, we had a great time making them together, and they gobbled them up at snack time! The recipe we used can be found here: http://veggieandthebeastfeast.com/2014/11/13/double-chocolate-black-bean-muffins/

Mixing science - Hilary's Home Daycare & Preschool
    One of our friends came in this morning asking if we could please do some science today! :) So, we had a really fun discussion about what we would need to "do science" and then got out an assortment of our favorite materials and got to work. We filled some ice cube trays with plain water, colored water, and colored vinegar.  We also had flour, epsom salt,  baking soda, and of course some tongs, droppers, and safety goggles. :)  We had a great time being scientists and making discoveries!

We had fun with the beautiful science of salt and ice this morning!  I prepared some ice in several different sizes and shapes, and put it out for the kids along with some coarse salt, Epsom salt, liquid watercolors, and droppers for the kids to experiment with.  The results are amazing!

Messy Painting!

The kids requested some "feet painting" again today! Messy, sensory play is not just FUN, but it is so full of benefits for young children: they rely on sensory input to learn about their environment. Sensory play helps build neural connections that support thought, learning, and creativity. It supports language development, cognitive growth, fine/gross motor skills, problem solving/reasoning, and social interaction. And when kids are engaged, they are learning!
