When it comes to feeding time - there are so many reasons to embrace the mess!
All in Kitchen adventures
Celebratory Mud Cake
At First Steps in Nature we just love to create a Muddy Cake in celebration of a birthday…or just because the day is fun and the mud inspires us. But this activity is about a whole lot more than just fun, muddy play…
Making Oobleck
Have you heard of oobleck? It’s a very cheap activity. Not quite a liquid, not quite a solid and a lot of fun to play with.
Festive Food can be healthy!
Christmas time is often a time for “indulging” and overeating, but festive, celebratory food can be healthy, colourful and fun too!
Kids in the Kitchen - Part Two
Some more inspiration for cooking with the young people in your life.
Kids in the Kitchen - Part One
Cooking with kids. Does this make you think “giant mess” or “a whole lot of fun”? Part One is to inspire you to get prepared and bravely include your child/ren in kitchen adventures.
Making a mess
Whether it be indoors or outdoors, with food, mud or paint…creating space for you and your children to make a mess can be a fun, dynamic and satisfying way to spend time…lockdown or not.
A nice cup of tea
Sometimes all you need is a nice cup of tea. Whether it’s a real cup, brewed with herbs picked fresh from your garden, or a muddy concoction from your child’s play, a cup of tea can help bring a moment of peace to a busy day.
Busy little hands
How we can create appealing opportunities for busy little hands to touch, grab, poke, pour, twist and squeeze.
A squish & a squeeze
Playdough never goes out of favour. Whip up a batch today, or some home-made paint, and keep little fingers warm and busy.
Rainbows in the Kitchen
With so many people stuck at home in Australia joining the Rainbow Trail, what a great opportunity to join in by bringing the rainbow inside too.
