News Articles for Kids

10/3/2013

 
News around the world is relevant to our lives, regardless where we live. Many children also become exposed through television, radio, newspapers, computers and discussions with friends, and understanding the implications can often be confusing for them.

That's why we are excited to share the website http://www.teachingkidsnews.com/ with you.  It offers "timely, relevant news articles for kids, educators in the classroom and parents at home." Teaching Kids News provides the chance for children to analyze what is happening in the world around them, through a child-friendly voice.

Check out the website and introduce it to your child, if and when you think it is appropriate. That's all for today ... back to you moms and dads. :-)

Delicious Pizza Dough Recipe 

9/3/2013

 
Home-made pizza dough offers lots of great advantages:

1) It is a recipe that kids love to help you make, and so the process helps to develop their kitchen skills, and their need to knead.

2) Pizza dough recipes use ingredients that most people have on hand in their cupboards.

3) Pizza is one of those foods that most kids enjoy eating, making it a great option for weeknight meals and dinner with family friends.

... and that's why we are pleased to share a delicious pizza dough recipe we recently found.

Bon Appetito!
