Making Brownies

Being the early childhood educator that I am and wanting my child to have lots of different learning experiences I thought it would be fun to have Joshua help me (as much as a one year old can) make brownies this afternoon. Well, I have baked many times with preschool age children over the year so I am well aware of how messy it can be, but trying to bake with a one year old is a whole different story!!! We did manage to get most of the batter in the pan, but we also made a bit of a mess on the floor due to the spatula flying out of the bowl several times. Joshua seemed to enjoy this baking experience, so hopefully we will have many more in the future.
