Old Treasures in the woods...

I have been craving going hiking this winter, so with the first signs of Spring I ventured out to the woods. We started on a hiking path and then decided decided to cut it and cross a cornfield then ended up deep into the woods, and when I say deep I mean deep! So here are some photographs that I came across!

Edible Finger Paint Recipe

 

 Homemade Edible Finger Paint Recipe: 

1/2 cup cornstarch

                             2 3/4 cup cold water

Mix together cornstarch and water in a saucepan until there’s no lumps. 

1 envelope of unflavored gelatin (I used Knox)

1/4 cup cold water

Mix together gelatin and water and set aside.

Cook cornstarch mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it boils. It’ll become thick as you’re stirring.

Remove from heat and stir in the gelatin mixture.

Cool and pour into smaller containers. Add food coloring for desired colors.

Baby Games: Sticky Mat & Feet Paintings

Some Sensory Idea's to share!

                                  Sticky Fun

                             I've seen lots of fun ideas on Pinterest using contact paper lately and thought that maybe the babies in my care would enjoy this sticky sensory experience!  I put the contact paper, sticky side up on the ground.  I taped it down with masking tape.

                             Feet Paintings

 

 Using the exersauser, I taped a piece of construction paper under the babies bare feet and added washable paint the paper.  I put a blob of yellow and a blob of blue on the paper and away he went!  The 'big' kids in my care were SO excited to watch him paint with his feet!  What was even better was watching him mix the yellow and blue to make green!

                                

Easy Chicken Marinara

I browned two breaded chicken breasts and three breaded boneless, skinless thighs in a skillet with a tablespoon or so of olive oil.  Over medium heat, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

After the browning is complete, top each piece of chicken with your favorite marinara sauce (I used Prego).

 Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside

 Top with Mozzarella cheese and place back in the oven until the cheese melts ( just a couple of minutes).

Pictures!!!

Well, I really thought this week was going to end nicely because of the awesome weather, but it turns out we are under a winter storm watch, and it's snowing so hopefully spring will still come sooner! Where has February gone! Here are some pictures from this month.

We finger painted with Red and Pink Paint, babies loved touching it!

 

Then we made hand print hearts for their parents, I love hand prints but takes forever to do it!

 And lets not for get the Birthday Party we had celebrated! 

The deer we had in our yard, that was fun!
