Our theme in homeschool this week has been "We've Got the Blues," where we use the color/word BLUE to learn about many things. For Home Ec, we made Blueberry Muffins from scratch - and they turned out great!
Amerisa handled what was appropriate for her age, of course, but it was more than just eating the leftover batter. She scooped out the sugar, cracked the egg, whisked the wet ingredients, lined the muffin tin with baking cups, mixed the ingredients, etc.
Baking with children isn't always easy but it can absolutely be fun! It was also the perfect opportunity to practice proper hand washing, counting, motor skills for scooping and pinching, and overall just a good time together.
