I have been reading through Little House in the Big Woods with Princess Posy. We go very slow and I explain what's happening as we go along. She seems to enjoy it as long as I keep our reading times short. Today we read the part where Laura describes butter-making. Then I told Princess Posy we were going to make butter too! She helped me pour cream into a little jar, then we screwed on the lid and started shaking the jar. We took turns and eventually (after lots of shaking!) we had a little mound of butter. I let Posy try the buttermilk and we put our little butter in the fridge. It was a fun hands on activity she seemed to really enjoy. She asked if we could make more...Maybe after my arm recovers from all that shaking.
Prince Jack was the official taster. He loved it!
