barbie in the kitchen

when you leave kiddos to their own devices (we homeschoolers lovingly refer to this as an "unschooling" day;) This is the kind of mischief they will get themselves into: girls came up with their own big
project today. It involved creating/
crafting food and plates, etc for
their Barbies. They researched the
internet to find the project they were envisioning; read the instructions,
found the materials, and are working
together to create the items.
This involves kitchen work, measuring,
and baking….and team play.
Great Project!
(note, they are making paper mache'….
I've never made paper mache' before; they completely came up with this on their own). If you give the kids enough freedom and time, they sure know how to get into "mischief." BTW, this all followed after they took photos and vidoes of their Barbies and continued work on their ongoing script for the Barbie Movie they are writing.

p.s. "hey mommy, we can make our own playdough out of flour and water and salt!"
