Want an easy home activity that you may already have in the house? Clear contact attached to the wall with tape makes a great collage base. use whatever you have around to decorate your contact.The sky is the limit, use coloured paper,newspaper,magazines,feathers, or stickers. Tara enjoyed cutting out her items from magazines first then puttng them on while i made a box ull of coloured shapes that mason stuck on himself. Tara's was of course a little higher than Mason's so he couldnt "help" work on hers. Who needs famous paintings up in their house when we have budding artists willing to do the job!
Tara has had an interest in experiments lately and a fascination about browning fruit so we did a simple little science experiment that she really enjoyed.She helped cut up two apples and one lemon. We placed the sliced apple onto plates and labeled them "lemon juice" and "no lemon juice". Tara squeezed the lemon juice on the one sliced apple and we waited a day to see the result although she had already had her own hypothesis
Which she proved to be correct. Lemon juice will stop her apple from going brown!
Cannelloni sleeping beauties are fun and easy to prepare for your little ones dinner...Fill your Cannelloni will spinach/ricotta or minced meat and place them laying flat onto a baking tray. Pour over your tomato based sauce and bake for 20 minutes until pasta is soft. While they are cooking get your little helper to peel mushrooms and remove stems for the beauties heads.Use tiny olive triangles for eyes and tomato skin for smiles.
When Cannelloni is cooked add a row of cheese on top to make it look like a blanket. Place back in the oven just until cheese melts then take out and add your mushroom heads and add some cooked egg noodles for hair.
Decorate with whole olives as feet and use cucumber and carrot for designer hats or hair clips on your sleeping beauties
