So as I stated in a post last week, we are starting a new thing with themed days this week. Today was the first day, and Monday has been declared cooking day! To introduce her to it, I put a chart up that shows two weeks and a simple image that shows what we are doing each day. I went through each one describing what we would do, then I asked her what we are doing today and she looked, gave me a big smile and said "Cooking!". She then went with her Dad to help make breakfast. She also helped make English muffin pizza's for lunch. (I forgot to take pictures - but there was a tiny apron involved.) While it was cooking, she painted a picture of Curious George eating ice cream.
Then way later than I had meant to do it, we made a little pretend pizza out of cardboard and self stick foam.
 |
| I pre cut the pieces and put them into prep bowls. The crust was just a scrap piece of cardboard, and the red marker was for the sauce. |
 |
| Mandie was more than ready to get started. |
 |
| We counted pieces as we stuck them down. |
 | | |
| All done! |
 |
| Nom Nom! |
So at the end of the day I took her back to the chart and had her cross off the the cooking symbol under Monday. I asked her what we were doing tomorrow and she exclaimed "COOKING!" ...so either she doesn't get it yet, or she really enjoyed today.
