I’ll admit. I was psyched was PJ chose food as his learning theme for summer. Two words: Edible Projects.
We’ve done some activities that fall more toward the academic side like read The History of Food (Major Inventions Through History)
But mostly we’ll be getting our hands dirty. Like yesterday when PJ made Handmaiden Hashbrowns for dinner.
Oops. I almost forgot to tell you why PJ’s psyched he picked food for summer. While we were exploring at the library for kid-friendly cookbooks, he discovered
and
He’s only put them down long enough to sleep, eat, and swim. (Ok, I exaggerate, but he does love them and we’ve marked quite a few recipes to try this summer.)
Moving on.
(couldn’t find a part to the food processor)
(some chopped dry cayenne for Daddy’s helping)
VOILA!
What great cookbooks!!! I wish I had found something like that when my boys were. There were a lot of things that we didn't start early enough with them. I'm going to go bake up some potatoes now so we can make hash browns later. If the potatoes are baked first, I will allow Amanda to use a knife to cut them. She loves that. We could probably apply the same idea for making oven fries.
You have a great family!
Way to go PJ!
