We have a wonderful bounty of limes to squeeze this week and turn into individual lime pies. Cooking is an integral part of the program and the children have gotten quite good at mixing, measuring, and stirring. The pies will add a new skill, the egg beater. It has been part of the water play but now it is time to transfer the skill to cooking. Egg beaters present a good challenge to the brain, asking it to do something different with the right and left sides of the body. We know from brain research that activities such as these help the left and right hemispheres of the brain work more effectively together. In a play base manner, we weave many of these kinds of activities into our program.
