Eating Healthy

Eating junk food is such fun for kids these days. Getting them to eat healthy food can be such an uphill task.

At Watering Can's Growing Room, we have found that one of the easiest way to get kids to eat healthier food, is to get them involved in the making process.

With the help of the internet, Nitarn located a healthy recipe for chicken nuggets, one of their favourite dishes.

Results ... Home-made nuggets are much better than those from fast food outlets.

After that, it was time to try her hand on making GNOCCHI.

Two thumbs up from all!!!

Cooking class is fast becoming a must for the girls, here at Watering Can's Growing Room.

Mosaic, Our Way

Materials needed:-
1) picture frame
2) mosaic tiles of various colours, sizes and shapes
3) glue

And just leave them to it.

Refrain from giving any instruction or tips.

Do not enlighten them with the "oh, this colour will look good with that colour".

And you will see how creative children can be. They are natural artists.

Muffin

Muffin making is just smashin'
We measured
We poured
We stirred
Then ...
We cupped
And we topped
Last ...
We baked
Then we ate ....... hm .... yum

Nitarn's Yoga Book

From the suggestion of our yoga master, Nitarn started her very own yoga book where she herself posted for the different poses.

To complete the book, Nitarn will now have to do a bit of research to find out all the names of the poses both in English and Sanskrit.

The book idea would be great for other activities such as ballet, gymnastics etc.

The Naked Chef

This is the Asian version of that very famous show. In this episode, the Naked Chef shows the viewers how to make a scrumptious omelette

Nothing like home-cooked food especially when it is made with so much love.

Little Yogis

"Oh, that looks difficult."

"I don't think I can do that."

"Well, all you gotta do is try."

Today these reluctant yogis did 4 sets of Sun Salutation plus other poses as well.

After what they have achieved today, we can only hope they will persevere and become better and better at yoga.

Namaste.

Pretend Play & Birthday Party

Pretend play is a lot of fun. Birthday is also a lot of fun. Now imagine combining the two together. YES, it is a BLAST.

The story unfolds in a magical forest where fairies live. One full moon, the fairy queen announces a grand feast. The fairies gather for the banquet. The fairy queen arrives. Each fairy presents themselves to the queen and tells her of their special talent. Little do they know that the vicious goblins are hatching an evil plan. They will capture the queen and rule the fairy land.

At the height of the festivity, the goblins pounce and capture the fairy queen. Now the fairies must work together to defeat the goblins and rescue their queen. They seek out the old man of the tree and he tells them of the mystical wands. The only way to find the wands, is to solve the ancient riddles.

Hence, the fairies set off on the quest to solve all the riddles ... together. And together they find the wands and defeat the goblins. The fairy queen is rescued and goblins banished from fairy land.

Peace reigns again.....
