Making "Spider"

There is nothing better than warm, spiced, apple cider (pronounced "spider" according to Kiran) on a crisp, autumn evening.  The girls got in their PJs and then helped me make some.

First step: Teach Amara-Bee how to use wooden spoons and spice jars as drums.







Second step: Learn about spices.  We read the name of each spice and then smelled it.



Third step: Carefully pour out some spice and put it in the pot.



Fourth step: Delight in cutting out the middle man, until Mama makes you go back to pouring carefully.



Fifth step: Sniff the mixture thoroughly.


Sixth step: Stir.


Final step: Enjoy from a big-girl cup with ginger cookies.
