🥤💚 Green Smoothie Fun in Explorers 2! 💚🥤
Today our Explorers 2 class became little chefs as they made delicious and healthy Green Smoothies! 👩🏽🍳👨🏽🍳🍏🍐
Before getting started, the children reviewed important kitchen safety rules and made sure their hands were squeaky clean. 🧼👐🏽 Then it was time to explore our healthy ingredients—pears, apples, spinach, yogurt, banana, water, and ice! 🍐🍎🍌🥬
Our Explorers were actively involved throughout the experience. They helped wash the fruit, observed as it was prepared, and took turns participating in the smoothie-making process. The children practiced listening and following directions while using words to identify and describe the different fruits and ingredients. 👂🏽🗣️✨
One of the most exciting moments was watching all of the ingredients blend together and transform into a GREEN smoothie! 💚🥤 The children were encouraged to talk about where fruits and vegetables come from, name other green leafy vegetables, and think of other yummy ingredients they could add to a smoothie. 🤔🌱🍓
And, of course, the best part was the TASTE TEST! 😋🥤 Our Explorers enjoyed trying their cold, creamy creation while learning that healthy foods can be fun and delicious too!
What a wonderful hands-on experience filled with language, listening, healthy choices, science, and FUN! 💚👏🏽
