grammie keeps them learning

we had Colton,6, and Mae,8, for the week while Jeff and Dina took a much needed "honeymoon".The biggest problem is that they dont have their friends around and dont have their bikes and stuff. So we had to create lots of activities including cooking. Here is one that is very simple.

you need..3 eggs,milk,maple syrup,cinnamon,vanilla,bread,oil and a whisk.

1.let them crack 3 eggs into a large bowl...oh, there are two kids and 3 eggs so maybe make it 4 eggs so they both crack two
2.now sharing they can add, 1 tablespoon of milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup,1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla. stir with a fork or whisk.so now they are learning some sharing and measurements and dexterity.
3.each puts a slice of bread in the mixture and they press down until the bread's soggy. add one or two more slices as you see fit.
4. now it's Grammies' turn...she heats 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. cook the bread for 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
simple,,tasty
now they can help cleanup
have fun
