I like it because the children get a similar experience to play dough, but so much more, including the real work of preparing their food.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340686317981572400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662140137894982464.post-79802764053330871552011-03-30T20:07:04.019+11:002011-03-30T20:07:04.019+11:00Thanks Wendy - any great book ideas? :)

I'm thinking about finding some native plants that should be able to survive the heat and explore bush tucker.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814929330582926410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662140137894982464.post-33098669756217252782011-03-23T21:33:56.645+11:002011-03-23T21:33:56.645+11:00Hi Erin
I love that you are thinking about this....Hi Erin <br /><br />I love that you are thinking about this.<br /><br />I agree that not using flour/ play dough is a step too far.<br /><br />But do believe that you should teach children to respect all limited resources.<br /><br />This can be as straight forward as talking about the issue with your children- talk about where it comes from, how we need to respect that it is not unlimited and not everyone is as lucky as us.<br /><br />A really good way to go would be growing your own vegetables and fruit trees. Lettuce, radishes and herbs are a good place to start. Plus where I did my 0-2 prac had a passionfruit vine.... Stunning flowers!<br /><br />Also find some children's book that talk about the issues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509594547715402497noreply@blogger.com
