Today the preschoolers showed their flare for baking! The menu for afternoon snack called for Apple Oatmeal Maple muffins and zucchini bread, made from fresh zuchini from Bob's garden. The preschoolers were involved in just about every step. Shredding zucchini, measuring ingredients, pouring, stiring, shaking, smelling; and after the breads were made, EATING!
