So last week and into this week Samantha and I did the story How To Make An Apple Pie and See The World with Five in a Row. We had so much fun with this book. There was a lot of crafts and learning that went along with this book. We made homemade apple pie scented playdoh. It was a fun week of learning. Until reading this childs book I didn't know where cinnamon came from. Do you? One of our goals was to make the pie from as many of the home made ingredients that we could.
First we did the salt water experiment. She waited and recorded how long it took for the water to evaporate and leave behind the salt
We then made butter from whipping cream...
She made the stores on the city block from the book....
We then went apple picking... I forgot to get pictures with her picking apples... but here is the hay ride part.
Today we made an apple pie.... we used our butter and salt from the evaporated water to make our crust....
We used the apples that we picked at the farm...
The pie came out delicious! Samantha loved it and she normally doesn't like apple pie. Goes to show if the kid helps make it she will eat it.
By the way cinnamon comes from the bark of a tree... The most popular cinnamon comes from the kuranda tree on the island of Sri Lanka.
