Taste Testing Spring Foods!

This is a great game to see if children can figure out what they are eating. It will be super funny to see their guesses and reactions to each food. (I would do this with children two years old or older, so they can verbalize what they think they are tasting.)

Spoon different flavors of baby food into individual bowls. (I recommend peas, carrots, and strawberries for spring seasonal foods.) 
You could have the children take a spoonful of each flavor and place them on a small paper plate or you could do it for them depending on their developmental abilities.
Gather the fresh versions of each food or have pictures printed of them. 
When they taste each food, they can guess which flavor it is based off of the fresh foods or the pictures.

Peas and Carrots Sensory Play!

​Sensory play is so important for all ages! Here is one that uses two spring vegetables. Peas and carrots!
Picture



​Fill a bucket or sensory bin with some fresh, dry, canned, or frozen peas. They could have shells or already be shelled. Add in some carrots. You could use carrots with the tops still on, baby carrots, frozen, or canned. It's all up to the ages of the children and what you feel you want to clean up later. Just remember, it's fun!

Strawberry Playdough!

I know everyone has their own best playdough recipe! Here's the one that works best for me!

Materials Needed:
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
3 oz package of Strawberry Jello
Food coloring (if needed)

Directions:
Mix the flour, salt, and cream of tartar together. Add the hot water and cooking oil to the flour, salt, and cream of tartar mixture. Mix and then kneed it together. Add in the Strawberry Jello and food coloring (if desired). Kneed it again. You can add in poppy seeds to look like the seeds on the outside of the strawberries also!
