Mudpies
(Goblin is 32 months)
And now to the linky
Goblin has been doing a lot of imaginary play recently. To add to his play experience and include a bit of Montessori practical life I decided to set up a kitchen in the garden. I bought some plastic jars and filled them with sand, gravel and compost - its good motor skill practice undoing the lids and pouring the contents.
I also set out a big bowl, wooden spoon, mechanical egg beater and a jug of water. Goblin loved pouring all the ingredients into the big bowl and mixing them up.
In fact this game was such a hit that the next day I added some old espresso cups, and a pestel and mortar. Goblin declared that he was making soup.
And he even offered me a cup - mmm Yummy!And now to the linky
Thanks for hosting!! Boys and mud just go together, my boys would live in the mud if I would let them :) Have a wonderful weekend!!

I love the egg beater! That's something I need to add to our tools to choose from!
