Fastelavn/ Halloween 2015

This week we are celebrating the Danish festival, Fastelavn (wrong time of year I know, but we are in the southern hemisphere!). Based on some very old traditions, it involves lots of dressing up, black cats, a barrel like a piñata, a decorated whipping branch, oranges and some boller buns to eat with a cute little rhyme to go with the yummy buns (similar to trick or treat). Lots of fun, especially dressing up and studying the atlas. I hope we did our 2 little Danish cherubs justice by celebrating their culture.... and of course Lego!!

 

The best bun dough recipe was found HERE

this was my first attempt at making Boller. The kids thought they were delicious!

The English translation on the right sounds like our version of Halloweens trick or treat.

 

Happy 4th Birthday Miss K.

Happy Birthday Miss K ♥

 We had fun creating a party complete with coconut ice cupcakes for you.

 We also wish a happy 4th birthday to Miss H who used to come to kinderhaus. We hope you two girls had a great weekend

PLAYDOUGH!

fresh playdough is awesome!
It is many things, it feels great, enhances fine and gross motor skills, great for hand eye coordination and the imagination, making it gives great skills such as measuring, pouring and mixing AND it has the added bonus of being a stress reliever (pop some into a balloon and you have an instant stress release ball as sold to office workers worldwide).

But the best part is that it is FUN!

Happy 3rd Birthday Jasper

Baking, creating, tasting, treasure hunts.
What a fun day to start off our Kids on the Rock preschool birthdays.
