Since NH Maple Weekend is coming up, for Storytime today we read about making maple syrup.
Then we used homemade play dough to make pancakes and waffles and added some bowl filler paper to represent the syrup. Do you see the "butter" on the pancake?
If you want to make your own play dough fun, here's the recipe. If anyone dyes theirs with food coloring, please comment to let me know if it stained little fingers?
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
2 TBSP oil
1 TBSP cream of tartar
1 cup flour
food coloring, as desired
Mix ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until dough forms and pulls away from the side of the pan. Let cool, then knead until smooth. Store in an airtight container.

In the afternoon, the Saplings heard the story of The Leprechaun's Gold by Pamela Duncan Edwards. We noticed that it began with this beautiful illuminated letter L.
Later, there was a 3D Rainbow challenge, with only rainbow colored paper strips to begin with. Such imagination and creativity!
