We have activities each week for the Children's Summer
Reading Program. Today's
"Build" activity featured a solar oven and building S'mores. Yum!
JM took the children outside and placed marshmallows in
the oven and explained how it would work.
We then came inside and had story time - only it was more of a question, answer and demonstration than straight reading. We talked about the sun and moon.
When we finished with the book, Rindy was up with her
"Pin-a-Moon-to-the-Sun" craft.
Each of the children were given black paper to create a moon. After all the moons were cut out, each stood
in line to paste their moon on the sun while wearing their solar glasses. It was really fun.
The best part of our activity was returning outside with
graham crackers and chocolate to add to the marshmallows - which really hadn't toasted
to the melting stage. But those squares
of chocolate certainly got soft in less than two minutes in the sun.
