Flour

We've been learning about food during school for the last couple weeks. We've learned where it comes from and how to grow different things. One of our lessons was to bake bread. So we read the Little Red Hen and learned about wheat and where we get flour to make bread. Daniel and I made bread in a bag. It was a pretty easy recipe and it was my first time making bread from scratch without a bread maker. Dan actually did a lot of the work though :) The bread turned out to be very yummy!

The other part of the lesson said to do a sensory activity and let the child play with flour. The lesson said to just put a towel out but I figured since it was sunny and 80 degrees outside the day we did this lesson that the boys could just go outside and play with flour and make a mess and I wouldn't have to worry about the mess. The boys had so much fun! They loved making themselves into ghosts. The only downside was that it took forever to get them clean but they had fun and thats what matters :)
