Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes Galore!

Ava was on a pancake kick for a while. So I incorporated some math and reading into her breakfast.  She helped me gather the ingredients for the pancakes, then I lined up the ingredients from left to right (because we read from left to right) and walked her through the process of adding and mixing the ingredients together. I used a spoon to "draw" the pancakes on the pan. Although I don't really like using food coloring in food that I prepare, I figured a little bit wouldn't hurt.

I love cooking with children. It's a great way to promote math, literacy, and science (liquids turn into solids, and solids can turn into liquids). Here are some of the pancakes from our Friday pancake parties:

The Very Hungry Catterpillar


 
Angry Bird

Brobee

Back to basics with some Minnie Mouse pancakes.

She loves Justin Bieber. He even has a mic.
