All of the children have been working on this throughout the week. There are curtains, TVs on the ceilings and pools on the walls (I suppose the dollhouse inhabitants dive through them into otherworldly, watery dimensions...) The kids have made rugs, beds, tables, "spooky toys," tin foil mirrors, and ornate picture frames that hold miniature portraits. Miss Joy even made a big yellow giraffe that stands guard at all hours! The girls bring their dolls inside and the boys race their matchbox cars down the steps. It's been fun for all!

Homemade Bread


We made yeast bread! This is a great activity to do with children. Watching the yeast come to life is just fascinating. The kids thought it was really exciting to see little bursts of bubbles pop to the surface. And kneading, oh my! Some of the most rambunctious kids were completely calm, in a sort of "kneading meditation." The most demure children, upon realizing that they could knead with lots of exhuburace (slapping the dough onto the work surface with great force) got some giggles out!
