After playing, you could have your child choose a peanut butter (or Sun Butter) and make PB&Js. Good food-play connection. Then sit together and share about your day!
Do you let your kids play in the kitchen?
I've been unpacking food items to put into my new pantry. Today I found all of our peanut butter jars. My two year old daughter immediately saw a play opportunity. She lined them up by colored lid; made patterns (red lid, yellow lid, red lid, blue lid); and of course counted them. She even asked me about the contents at one point. The reds were creamy, the blue crunchy, and the yellow jar contained sun butter. She even investigated the labels for letters and pictures. She combined her play with her other new toy, an old sushi mat. Who needs expensive learning toys when you can learn in your pantry!
