we made some lips with apples,peanut butter, and marshmallows for the teeth
Cooking class continues to be a highpoint for the kids during the week. Every time I see the toddlers throughout the week, they will say, “Tia Jennifer, are we cooking tonight?” After two years of trying out fun recipes we have pretended to eat every insect imaginable and have used food dye, sprinkles, and lot of chocolate to make our recipes more interesting.
Our cooking class has evolved into not only cooking but about 10 minutes of singing too. The 13 kids range in age from 2-6. Some favorites that they have learned this year in English are the peel banana songs, the ants go marching, and the wheels on the bus. The kids are so cute during this time and their attention span is amazing. They stay focused during the whole class. As soon as they see me outside the house coming in for the class (many times with 1 or 2 other volunteers) they start yelling “Tia Jennifer is here!” It’s a highpoint of my week too.
