Scooping with a tool

Little One is progressing from whole hand scooping to using a tool and loving it! Today's Red Bin discovery was water play with floating flowers (plastic ice cubes not cold), a slotted spoon, blue strainer, baster and a bowl to fill up and dump out!
He LOVED this and got very wet while having fun.
Enjoy the moments

Playdough Recipe

Play Dough Recipe

2 cups flour 1 cup salt

2 teaspoons cream of tarter

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 cup water

a few drops of your choice of food coloring

Heat on stove, watching it and stirring, until nice consistency, it will become very difficult to stir and clump together this is the point you can turn it out onto a floured counter. Knead. Cool and store in closed container to avoid drying out.

Children LOVE it! Parents and teachers rave!

Wise words

"The greatest challenge we all face as spiritual nurturers is to become attuned to the young child's authentic spirituality, which--unlike our own-- is still such an integrated part of life...children's exuberant spirituality is reflected in everything they do....a child shows us the extraordinary in the ordinary. Our task as spiritual nurturers becomes easier when we realized that we do not have to instill spirituality in a child, we have only to protect it from being trampled and to nourish its natural growth."
