Mom, no more serpents please!
like home made bread. Can't you smell it now? Ah...
Next time you tackle that dough
instead of forming a loaf how about
shaping some nifty rolls? I mean really nifty.
One way my kids learned the numbers and letters
was by making them. They shaped the dough
into numbers and letters. They got to feel the shapes.
Of course they got to eat them afterward.
We had so much fun making shapes to eat.
As a volunteer in the schools, I helped the kids
make different states when they were learning about
the 50 states.
We also made personalized pizzas in the shape of
the first letter of each child's name.
Sometimes I got carried away. One day my daughter
came home from school and said, "Mom, please
don't put any more serpents in my lunch.
I was afraid to eat it."
Whether your kid learns by seeing, touching, smelling,
tasting or hearing, when you use dough to teach,
you get your point across free from hassles.
