Hot melting pots

The other day I warmed some terracotta pots in the oven…
…just warm enough so they would hold their heat for a while
The pots were then placed on a cooling rack and taken to the table…
…at the table I had laid out some newspaper {just in case} and had crayons at the ready!

 I explained to Dino Boy that the pots were hot and to just touch the crayons to them lightly
{and not to touch the pots with little hands!}

He was so very careful… 
…and enjoyed melting the crayons onto the pots… creating patterns and marks

Little Miss Q on the other hand went for the typical crayon in the mouth approach *smile*
…although she did make some marks on some cardboard
{she will have to wait until she is bigger to try out the hot melting pots!}

We might try this using metal like Still parenting
Or hot rocks like Having Fun at Home
Isn’t it fun to ‘paint’ in different ways *smile*
Happy painting, Kelly

Happy lil ❤’s are baking #21 ~ Pineapple Fritters

What did you bake or cook with your kids this week?

Below is a linky list so you can join in the fun and start sharing what you bake with your kids! Family favourites, new recipes, cultural or traditional recipes – you name it, we’d like to read about them, and if you include the details, try them out 🙂

One aspect of baking with Dino Boy that I love is sharing favourite recipes from my childhood
And one of those is ~ Pineapple Fritters *smile*
All you needs is…
❤ 6 pineapple slices
❤ 150g self raising flour
❤ a pinch of salt
❤ 2/3 cup water
❤ 1 egg white
❤ extra flour for dusting the pineapples

Place a non stick frying pan on medium heat
While it is heating up, mix flour and salt before adding the water and egg white
Work until the batter is a sticky but stiff consistency

Dry your pineapple on paper towel
Coat it lightly in flour 
Then coat it well in batter

Carefully place the rings in the frying pan
Cook until lightly browned on each side

Serve with a good vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

We can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to in the kitchen with your kids!
