Last week, we let the our children to "make" their own coloured rice, and this week, it's time for them to stick the coloured rice on the Rangoli ( kolam ) pattern.

Due to our child's age, teacher has pre-draw the Rangoli pattern for the children.  So now,  it's up to them to decorate the Rangoli with the coloured rice.

Happy Deepavali Part I

In conjuction of Deepavali ( Diwali ) Festival, this week, teacher has introduced the history of Deepavali to children.  Deepavali which also known as Festival of Light are celebrated by Hindus. Deepavali is celebrated for five days according to the Hindu Calendar.  They will light up the diya ( oil lamp) around the house, eat Sheera ( type of dessert ), Lapsee ( type of sweet porridge ) Kheer ( type sweet pudding ) during Deepavali.  They will decorate Rangoli ( also known as Kolam ) which make by coloured rice, sand or salt in front of their house to welcome the visitors.

After the lesson, our children are ready to make their Rangoli now:)

Baking Cookies

Today, children are very excited about baking their cookies.  We believed that children do not have chance to bake cake or cookies at home.  Even if parents do bake cake or cookies at home, they normally will not allow the children to "mess" around in the kitchen.  Therefore, we decided to let our children to experience how to bake their cookies.

First, teacher introduces "flour" to the children.  They take turn to pour the flour in a mixer bowl.  Then they add in the "butter" and "egg" and mix it with mixer.

After the dough are done, children use mould to cut out the shape of the cookie and sprinkle coloured rice on it.  Finally, teacher help them to put the dough into the oven and bake.
