Watering Whole @Home Curriculum Week 6
Did you know that elephants can spend 12 to 18 hours a day eating. Wild elephants will eat as many as 200 plant species during the course of a year, but their preferred staple food is grass, lianas, wild palms, wild bananas, various shrubs, the leaves and bark of certain trees. Adult elephants can eat between 90 to 300kgs of food a day! Let’s make something with bananas this week. This is a very simple and fun recipe to do with your little ones. Cutting bananas is always a huge hit, because they are nice and soft to cut and you can use a blunt knife to do it. This is wonderful for fine motor development and hand-eye co-ordination.  Invite your child to peal and slice about 6 or 7 bananas, placing them on a baking tray so they don’t all freeze in one large clump. Freeze for about 30min and then blend together with a couple of table spoons of cocoa powder. We also added come coconut milk to ours….and voila…vegan chocolate ice-cream! |
