Green (Spinach) Ice Cream That Had My Kids Asking For Seconds

Melissa — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:09:44 +0000

I made green smoothies for my kids today. Since it was nice and thick I called it ice cream. They were so excited that they didn’t even ask about the green colour. They both eagerly asked for seconds!

Here is how we made it:

1 bunch spinach
1 cup milk (I used lactaid since my girls are lactose intolerant)
4 spoonfuls of Orange Juice concentrate.
2 cups frozen strawberries.
1 teaspoon vanilla

Usually I want to add sugar to smoothies but this tasted really good without the sugar!

Block Building Activity

Here is a fun play activity for your child. Build simple objects with blocks and have your child copy what you built. For toddlers start with stacking two or three blocks on top of each other and as your child is able to copy very simple designs gradually move onto more complicated designs that require more blocks. You can also have your child follow a pattern with different shapes and or colours.

Butterfly Dance

Melissa — Fri, 07 May 2010 20:19:36 +0000

Most young children will love classical music if they are introduced to it and there are lots of activities that you can do with some energetic classical music.

One is to give the children two colourful scarves and encourage them to fly around like butterflies. This would be perfect activity for a pre-school class to do during a unit on butterflies.
