Learning Time
Fun educational activities or questions to do with little ones while preparing this recipe.
- When ever we are making a meal or anything for that matter in celebration of a holiday we explain to the little ones the meaning of the holiday and why we celebrate it.
- Since this salad is for a Thanksgiving dinner we also made it while giving thanks for every ingredient that we included.
- Talking to children about the benefits of certain foods while making a meal is a great way to get them involve and interested.
- No only individual ingredients are good but in this case talking about why we eat salad.
- Spinich is a leave but not all leave can be eaten, this is very impotant to clarify to little ones.
Learning can be a great experience, don't pass an opportunity.
Enjoy and don't forget to have Fun!!
