While they were in art class yesterday, I managed to get the ingredients for 3 types of cookies from the children baking book. Huh, talking about art class, Shayne misbehaved in class again… arrgh… With his Jeckle and Hyde personality, while I went shopping for ingredients, he turned into his Master Hyde character. I will stop his art class temporary, I reckoned I must coach him myself. When he is more ready to join a class setting, I’ll re-enroll him again.
Back to baking…..
Ingedients... butter, soft brown sugar, porridge oats , honey and many types of nuts and seeds.
I taught them the different types of nuts …..cashew nuts, almond, peanut, walnut, pine nut, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and raisins. Sean got it immediately cos’ he is older. Shayne cannot grasp it initially. Sean said: “Let gou gou (brother) teach you…” He taught Shayne in his own way…the patience, the primitive methods adopted…. they were just right for him…..and Shayne got it finally. It is very interesting to see a 6 years old teaches a 4 years old when an adult patience is wearing thin. Sean taught Shayne his Kumon homework too. Cos’ I’m not in the class, I do not know their teaching method. Sean came back the other day with his Math Strategy…. He gave me a stack of “Strategy”… I cannot understand it too. I keep side tracking, hey…..back to baking.
Sara joined in the fun too. She likes the different texture of the ingredients placed on the table, especially the oats… powdery oats.
Folding and mixing.... preparation in the baking tin....
After 15 minutes in the oven.... tada...... Mixed nuts oats cookies.....
Smell great. Lynn ordered today chocolate chunks cookies.... Lynn - will tapao some for you before Sean brings them to school tomorrow.
