Making Soup

It's always fun to make soup on a cold day! We read the book 'Soup Day' at circle...

...and put utensils, pots, bowls, plastic veggies, and real alphabet pasta to inspire some dramatic 'cooking' in the water table. 

Nearby we had a writing easel with our book and food vocabulary cards and children were invited to create a communal soup recipe by writing the ingredients they think would help create the perfect pot of soup!

Yummy fun!

Valentine's Surprise Playdough

One of the most enjoyable things to do in kindergarten is make Playdough together. It combines the skills from cooking (measuring, following a recipe) with art. 

We made a Valentine's theme dough today. 

The children mixed and kneaded the sticky dough with flour until it was a smooth consistency. 

It's so much fun to play with messy materials!
