Recipes for Fun
Inexpensive fun recipes that parents and their preschool children can mix up together. Lots of learning takes place as young children help prepare these easy to follow recipes for art materials. Measuring, pouring and mixing ingredients provide preschoolers with math experiences. When children observe the changes in texture etc. science skills are developed. Creative art experiences begin when children (and their parents) actually use the materials that they have created from everyday household ingredients.
