Making Fruit Salad With Stephanie!

Stephanie, from our Under 2 classroom, helped her children make a fruit salad together. This was part of their breakfast, and her son used the fruit in his yogurt as well. Helping prepare a nutritious meal fosters independence, self-help skills, and healthy eating habits. All while having fun! (Click for more pictures.)

Baking!

|

The Casa children partake in a food preparation activity weekly, in addition to peeling, spreading, etc. throughout the week. We create foods such as bread, cakes, and cookies, as well as non-baked goods such as smoothies and rice crispy squares. The best part is getting to eat our creation!

Please click on “Baking!” to see more photos and information.

Baking cookies!

|

Baking is a practical life skill through which children learn how to follow recipes, measure ingredients, and create new substances, all while increasing self help and independence. After preparing the cookies in the morning, they were baked during rest time and the children woke up to warm, delicious cookies!
