This'N'That World Pie

We decided not to make the world cake. Just because there is this recipe Ian found in this book that he was very interested in.

This series are wonderful, by the way. You probably don't find many books with homeschoolers and this series makes my boy feel normal. Hey! It's written in books! It must be right, right? =)

So, here goes it.

First we made the butterscotch pudding from scratch. Not a fan of the yellow #5 or 6 pudding mixes. Recipe here. This recipe is delicious!

Next my very wonderful helper helped with her handy hammer to crust the graham crackers

Add with melted butter and press into pan. Freeze.

Next layer. Here goes powdered sugar.

Cool whip

Cream cheese

Beat them. Not the kids, the ingredients.

Spread the cream cheese/cool whip mixture on the graham layer.

Pudding layer. Oops, a bit bloppy.

Frost with cool whip. I'm VERY VERY stingy with the coloring.

Our world pie! (Boy says, don't forget New Zealand...so we did)

I don't know how it tastes yet...it's for snack later...but we do know how the individual layers taste like! (they are yummy) With all the bowl lickers around! =)

On a side note...I REALLY didn't want to deal with the coloring, so I actually did an experiment with natural dyes. A great science experiment on the side!

Cut purple cabbage

cook it. (I'll try cooking more cabbage in less water next time)

Purple water.

Add VERY VERy little bit of baking soda a little by a little. VIOLA! Blue!!!!

But it's too light, so didn't make a difference to the frosting. I HAD to use coloring afterall. =(

Online Resources: Sesame Street Games

I love the Sesame Street Games ...I think they are the best for preschoolers. They teach important concepts, at the same time, making computer skills real easy. For eg, there is no "click and drag"...that's hard for them...there's "click" "move" "click". There are some games Ian really likes...(click on photo for the games) That's the Wheels on the Bus song (you press the keys foe interactive movements) Patterns. Seasons. Fun for the kids. Walking the dogs...numbers. This is alltime favorite. First you make a pitcher of lemonade. Then depending on how many monsters come, you click however many cups. I love it!

Science 2015/2016: Human Body Recap

We really had fun learning about the Human Body this year. I thought it would be meaningful to consolidate our learning. We enjoyed the Body Book more than I thought we would. I did do most of the cutting though. We also enjoyed the different videos we watched and the experiments. I think this is the most successful science year yet. The five senses Tongue the Ear The Skin The Eye Skeleton Joints Long Bone Tooth Brains Spinal Cord Digestive System Stomach The Lungs The Heart The Urinary System The Muscle Look through all our experiments and videos here .
