two much fun two much fun a glimpse into the life of twin preschoolers saturday june 27 2015 summer math fun beach bump math center game 5 years have you ever played bump i ve not only never played it i have never even heard of bump before it s so much fun we just played our first game of bump and they loved it you can grab the template for free by going to mary s guided math blog she linked it from denise at sunnydays the directions are on the templates for you the object is to be the first player to have ten spaces with your marker game piece on top your opponent can bump you from a space by placing her game piece on top of yours there is a maximum of one bump per space our game lasted for about ten minutes that s ten minutes of math practice with no workbooks no pencils no mention of work i brought out the abacus just in case they wanted to use that to calculate the sum they chose to rely on the facts that they already memorized or by counting the dots or by using their fingers they picked up on the concept of the game really quickly little miss always seemed to want to bump her brother from a space rather than taking an open space my little smarty pants once wild one caught onto his sister s strategy he started to do the same thing twins anyway they really liked the back and forth who s going to win they are very competitive towards the end of the game when we only had two more spaces to go wild one started getting antsy he hung in there to finish the game but i knew we needed to end this soon or else they wouldn t want to play again keep it fun remember learning through play is the best way well for us it was a close game 10 points to 8 points their review of the game little miss i really liked the bumping part wild one it was amazing that my sister won thank you denise and mary for sharing this with us we are going to add this to our centers for the summer we used your blank template to create a bump game board using word form for the next time we play thank you again posted by theresa at 12 21 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 5 years counting thursday september 25 2014 banana bread granola kids in the kitchen 4 1 2 years do you like granola little miss loves crunchies granola in her yogurt and on the side of her yogurt since wild one and little miss love cooking i thought granola would be a fun baking project for us and who doesn t absolutely l o v e banana bread if you haven t baked anything with your little one s this granola is a terrific one to begin with the measurements are very forgiving especially with a little one doing the measuring i found the recipe on pinterest it s from the minimalist baker i love their recipes they are one of my favorite sites to find something delicious and nutritious this banana bread granola is as good as it sounds it s fantastic it s already almost gone do you see the jar in the background we only made this last week we ll be baking up another batch in a few days banana bread granola 1 medium ripe banana about 1 2 cup 3 cups rolled oats gluten free is fine 3 4 cup walnuts chopped 1 2 cup pecans chopped 3 tbsp raw sugar 1 tbsp flax seed i used ground 1 2 tbsp cinnamon 1 2 tsp salt 1 4 cup coconut oil 1 3 cup 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup 1 tsp pure vanilla extract measure and pour the rolled oats into a large bowl this is also a great time to practice leveling off dry ingredients we usually use the back of a butter knife but wild one wanted to use his fingers like the barefoot contessa ina garten one of his favorite chefs measure and pour in the chopped walnuts we must sample the ingredients he said that on master chef chef gordon tries the cooks s food as they are still cooking measure and add in the chopped pecans now add in the raw sugar sprinkle in the flax seed and salt mix well with a wooden spoon that can also be used as a drum stick thank you again aunt jeanine and uncle keith in a small sauce pan melt the coconut oil and then add the honey add the bananas off the heat and mash pour the wet ingredients on top of the dry and mix well spread the mixture evenly on a rimmed baking half sheet or jelly roll pan bake for about 25 minutes 1 preheat the oven to 350 degrees 2 mix the oats nuts sugar flax seed cinnamon and salt in a large bowl 3 in a small saucepan over medium low heat melt the coconut oil add in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla stir until completely incorporated add in mashed banana mix well 4 pour wet ingredients on top of dry ingredients mix well 5 spread onto a half sheet jelly roll or baking sheet try to flatten into an even layer 6 bake for 23 28 minutes or until golden brown 7 if you like it in a bunch of tiny pieces break it up with a spatula as soon as it comes out of the oven leave on the baking sheet to cool if you like it clumpy like little miss and i do barely break it up with a spatula if yolike it in a bunch of tiny pieces break it up with a spatula as soon as it comes out of the oven 8 store in a glass jar for up to three weeks posted by theresa at 11 53 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 4 1 2

pouring mixing mashing tasting we are in the kitchen baking something at least every other day and there are weeks especially during the rainy season and christmas season when we are baking every day one of our favorite breakfasts and afternoon snacks is this cookie from maryea at happy healthy mama you ve seen this on here before we started making her recipe ok we adapted it slightly since they were two years old chunky monkey breakfast cookies aka chocolate peanut butter banana bites 4 ripe small bananas about 1 1 3 cups mashed 2 cups gluten free oats or regular rolled oats also called old

to 350 degrees drop the mixture using tablespoon portions on a silpat or parchment lined baking tray press down slightly to look like a cookie or leave rolled into a ball these will not spread bake for 15 minutes or until tops are golden that s it look at how speckled our bananas are those are perfect for baking mash those bananas forget the fork when you make banana bread and banana muffins and

fun carnival style games for our school s fall festival i saw a knock down game made with painted coffee cans they were so adorable but also very time consuming plus i don t have ten coffee cans just lying around hmmmm i know i ll use orange solo cups they are perfect for this project inexpensive stackable easy to decorate easy to store heck they are even recyclable sold materials needed orange solo cups we used ten black sharpies pin pong ball or a wadded up paper lunch bag wild one and little miss wanted to help yes you can practice writing and strengthen your fine motor skills this only took about twenty minutes to create our ten scary faces then it was time to play first little miss stacked the cups and then wild one knocked them down so much fun oh and we re learning we re
