Smoothies, yummmmm!

Cooking continues to be a great favorite in 440!


This week the children made their own smoothies! Based on recipes of their own design. Be sure to ask about it and try your hand at smoothie making together. Most of them even put spinach in it! A great way to hide your vegetables?

Birds!!!

Toddler’s in the kitchen!

The BIG P

 
A BIG thank you to the Michalek family for making the BIG P (aka Puff Pancake) with the Ward Hobbs Class.  The children LOVED it!!!

The recipe is pretty straightforward:

4 eggs, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 t. salt, 1/2 c. milk and 2 T melted butter.  Mix it all together.  Pour into a preheated, oven safe pan with 2 T additional melted butter and bake for 11 minutes at 450 degrees.

Top with lemon and powdered sugar!  Mmmm, mmmm good!

This one didn't puff quite as much as at home but it was equally delicious!!!

Have a special recipe you'd like to make with the kids?  Reach out to Angelina and we will make it happen!!

A BIG week in the studio

I have spent this year learning how to serve the children after a global pandemic. And they have taught me so much!!! Particularly about the importance of relationship, mistake making, risk-taking, unstructured play, independence and resilience. These hallmarks of childhood are important reminders for adults too as we all reemerge from a period of social distancing and more.

If you missed my studio talk here is the End of the year video I shared.

And now here are a few snippets from the week:

On another note:

The Artisan Center window display is up and available for your viewing pleasure! Please make it down to the corner of Third and Detroit Street to see the children’s artistry up close and in person.
