- mini chocolate muffins: a popular treat enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack. often characterized by their moist texture and rich chocolate flavor.
- a cup of rooibos tea with a dash of lemon (a south african herbal tea suitable for all ages) - rooibos in afrikaans means "red bush"
TASTING & NAMING
What better way to learn the names of some fruits, and other types of food.
We tasted cherries, strawberries, apples, and the famous english Tyrell chips,
we also had to say whether we liked or didn't like the item tasted.
Afterwards, we practised and played "shopping for groceries"
Mother's day & Father's day
We decorated little rocks for our dads, with a beautiful heart, and we each chose a unique pearl for our moms, and made wish bracelets.
