Wordless Wednesday...Playing and Learning

 

My Mini-me and Raffe love to help out in the kitchen. Last week when Mini-me was over she helped her Uncle Larry while he made our afternoon juice of beets, carrots, celery, apples, orange, a lemon sweet potato, and ginger. 

 

 

Raffe’s mother loves to bake and last week helped his mom make banana muffins. Instead of sugar, they were made with honey and coconut milk.

 

I don’t know if they’re playing or learning or both but I love that they’re getting a chance to explore and have fun. 



Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.   Mr. Rogers

Encouraging children to learn how to cook is a great practice.

I wish I had been given that encouragement when I was a kid.

Kathy, what fun to teach the kiddos to cook and bake!   This is a necessary skill when you become an adult!

I do not like to bake, but I am happy to participate in the consumption of baked goods.

Kathy whether they are playing or learn, they are acquiring a skill that will serve them for a life time.

Kathy our grandkids love to help their Mom cook!  And it's so fun to see them all working on kneeding bread - even the little guy!  The funny thought is I wonder where his little hands have been....but who cares! It's so good for kids to have fun in the kitchen.

Hi Kathy Streib - That quote from Mr. Rogers is perfect.  Kids also need a lot of encouragement.

Nina Hollander, Broker I agree, playing is how we learn!

Norma J. Elkins watching my grandmother cook is how I learned. And, I think I had more fun doing that than playing with my dolls.

Wayne Martin I know that both Larry and I love it when they're over. Mini-me loves being with her Uncle Larry. 

faye schubert I agree!!!  My nieces never learned to cook because their mother wasn't a big cook. They've been learning thanks to their children.

I agree Ed Silva while they were making juice, mini me was telling us a story of her hamster and goldfish. 

Oh Bill Salvatore - YVP Blog I bet you can't wait.

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel I do think it's so important for children to play and in play, you can incorporate creativity and other things that will carry them through life. 

Raymond Henson, eXp Realty oops, left out a comma!!!  Try this juice...it's supposed to be good for your skin too!!!

Michael Jacobs I think he was nervous that mini-me was going to accidentally stick her finger down the juicer.

I should have figured that out.  Ha!

Hi Kat Palmiotti Our oldest grandson loves to cook! He got a Kitchen-Aid mixer for Christmas and we bought several attachments for it. 

Sharon Tara Just think if you couldn't cook during the stay-at-home of the pandemic. We ordered take out a few times, but that would have gotten old doing it every day.

Brian England we tried them and they were good!!!

Joan Cox I agree. All children need to know how to make basic things...even spaghetti!

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I enjoy doing both!!!

George Souto I can remember getting my Girl Scout cooking badge!  The class was fun and I wanted to learn more!

Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, CRB, Phoenix Broker I'm laughing about the hands!  Thankfully, when the kids come over they immediately go to wash their hands!!!

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® I agree. If they make a mistake, it's important to encourage them to keep trying!

Morning Kathy.

My dad was a cook in the Army.  I had fun and learned so much from him when it came to cooking, and a lot of other things while growing up.
