Contact_FullName: Darcy Contact_Email: Darcy.Adler@fcps.edu date:: 3/11/02 Area: Butter Making Idea: For our Farm theme, we have a different day for each animal. On "Cow day", we milk a cardboard cow with latex glove utters that contain white paint mixed with water. It is very fun! Then we use heavy whipping cream and make butter (by shaking it in a glass jar). I wanted to pass on this song that one of my colleagues uses. Go cream go! Come butter come! Shake, shake, shake, Butter we will make! Then we eat buttered crackers and/or little pieces of bread for snack!
10-3-00Make a farm using graham crackers, green food coloring, vanilla frosting, and animal crackers. First put green food coloring into vanilla frosting and use this as the grass. You can use this to glue the graham crackers together as your fence. Make a layer of graham crackers on the bottom and cover as grass. Then make the fence. Then have the children put the animal crackers in the fence! They love this!
9-26-00Billy the Bull (sung to the tune of Sally the Camel)
Billy the Bull has five horns, (Counting back 4,3,2,1,) Billy the Bull has no horns, Billy the Bull has no horns, Billy the Bull has no horns, So Billy is a Cow Mooooooo...
9-14-00We have a county farm breakfast with eggs, bacon and toast. We talk about things that we get from the farm and we also read a book about the farm.
9-4-00This a great hit with my pre-school children. Melt a bag of butterscotch chips and a bag of chocolate chips, then put a can of Chinese noodles into this mixture. Stir until noodles are well coated. Take tablespoons of the covered noodles and place on wax paper. If you need to press the covered noodles to form a good texture. These look like small haystacks. This goes wonderful when you are discussing how some farm animal eat hay.
Date: 1-25-00I haven't yet done this with my daycare, but it was quite an adventure with my son. We visited a petting zoo and happened to find a chicken who had laid an egg. The farmer gave us the egg to take home. We went home and my son and I made eggs for lunch. The connections were very exciting for him. With my daycare, I've had each child feel the insides of the egg just before putting it into whatever we were baking.
ideaPigs in a Blanket: Crescent Rolls Cocktail Wieners Each can of crescent roll will make 16 "pigs". Cut the perforated dough in half. There are 8 per can and cut in half will make 16. Roll wieners into the dough and bake 12 to 14 minutes in a 350 degrees oven. Delicious!!! 10-19-998-26-98 Name: Pam E-Mail: Lamgolf@aol.com Making Butter Items Needed: Clean Babyfood Jar Whipping Cream Saltine Crackers Fill a baby food jar 1/4 full with whipping cream and have children shake and dance around (we have gone on a "shake walk") for about 10-15 minutes. The whipping cream will harden into a small ball. Less active children may have watery butter, just drain and spread on saltine crackers. 4-10-98 Name: Angie E-Mail: MP AP 02@aol.com You can have a tasting test during snack. You can try different kinds of milk. Cow milk, goat milk, chocolate milk and buttermilk are some suggestions; but anything that you can think of will be fine. Also, you can do the same with cheeses. Cheddar, swiss,, cottage cheese, colby cheese are some suggetions. Have Fun! :) 4-10-98 Name: Karin E-Mail: tyo@kuentos.guam.net For a Farm Theme Snack or for the Cooking day that theme week. We made piggies in a blanket. We cut a hot dog in half and then let each child flatten a canned buiscuit and then roll it around their hot dog. Some of the children liked to dip their piggies in a blanket in some mustard.... 4-2-98 Name: Sue E-Mail: kup@ewol.com After we read The Carrot Seed, we made carrot salad. Using a plastic grater, I let each child take turns grating the carrot (might want to have more grated before hand) Let each child add raisins and mayo, stir, and enjoy. 4-2-98 Name: Sue E-Mail: kup@ewol.com When I make butter with the children, I use the small rubbermaid containers, and if you add a marble to the container, the process is very quick. 3-29-98 Name: Mona E-Mail: hornsby@bellsouth.net We had chocolate pudding on Pig Day for pig slop. We explained how farmers will feed the pigs a mixture of leftover foods. They call it slop. We let them mix various things into their pudding, examples are chopped nuts, raisins, cereal, chopped bananas and apples, candy sprinkles, M&Ms etc. At first the kids thought we had lost our minds, but they finally really got into it. We had lots of pig grunting going on! 3-26-98 Name: Debi E-Mail: djsras@gte.net Make Homemade Butter Materials needed: Heavy cream Jar Pour cream in jar. Put lid on tight. Have children take turns shaking the jar until the cream turns into butter. Spread on bread or crackers. Enjoy! 3-8-98 Name: Janet E-Mail: crmwell@bright.net We set out bowls of cereal, sunflower seeds, popcorn, raisins and m&m's. The children take a little of whatever they like and mix it together in their bowl for "chicken feed" for their snack.
