Kids Co-op Link Up (#16 for me)




 

Its that time of the week - Kids Co-op. Please link up your favourite kid based posts and stop by some of the others that catch your eye. Here is what I will be linking up this week.

Mudpies
(Goblin is 32 months) 
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
