Let’s Get Cooking!
It’s a heightened experience when learning includes all five senses. For this week’s theme, why not try to spiral in taste?
This, “Dirt in a Cup”, recipe is sure to please any chocolate-loving Kid-O and it’s a neat way to sneak in a discussion about why loving on our planet earth is so important.
*Pro Tip: You cans substitute golden Oreos for chocolate ones and call it, “Sand In a Cup” if your Kid-O prefers the taste of vanilla.
