Arts and Crafts 2

Still a bit peeved at Alice's non-perfect school report, I thought it would be nice if we did a little bit of a little bit messy play at home. Since Alice had show an interest in crayoning, some crayons were purchased and Alice did a lovely drawing for Grannie.

Then I got really keen and thought that perhaps we could do some baking together. Last week I made sugar-free banana and pear muffins which were quite horrible to the adult palate, but which were greedily consumed by all children under the age of 3 who were presented with them. Even little friend Amba, who only eats parsnips and spaghetti bolognaise pronounced them, "lovely". I thought that Alice and I could make some more, since they are relatively healthy and that cooking would be a nice thing we could do together.

Alice thought differently.

The bits on the floor are the remnants of the mixing bowl.

Yesterday I made a banana and chocolate banana bread without any tantrums which is adored by young and old alike. From now on, cooking and crayoning will take place concurrently.
