Corn chips!

Lumpy was looking through a cook book and found a 'recipe' for home made corn chips. Of course this was then followed by - Let's make chips!.
Great idea. As soon as 2.0 went for her nap we go ou corn chip making on.

Things you need -
Corn tortilla
Oil
Salt
Lumpy wanted cheesey ones so we used parmesan on half.

Cut tortilla into triangles. Lay in a single layer on a lined tray.
Brush with oil (our pastry brush is MIA so we used a clean paint brush!)
Salt/flavouring sprinkled on.

Bake at 180° fan forced oven for 10 minutes. We did a little longer and had a crispy darker chip).

My Junior Masterchef

Lumpy's conjunctivitis was better today (completely gone or she wouldn't be preparing food!) and she was able to go to daycare... UNTIL she dropped Harley's ceramic bowl on her foot and now has a bruised and horrible toe!
SO, what can we do to keep entertained today? I decided we could do some easy baking today, I made muffins and Lumpy made us some bread (with the breadmakers help).

hands washed, apron on, pre measured ingredients, check.

Flour in, check.

water in, Check.

95% off flour actually went in!!

The finished product! 

She was so proud of herself for helping, She takes tasks very very seriously. She is often asking if she can help. What's a little mess when a little one is learning?
 Lumpy is still having her nap... BUT I sampled it shhh, its sooooo yummy!

Again proof having fun with and teaching your child new thinsg does not have to cost you the earth  :)
Enjoy the time with our kids - once these little years are gone they will never come back.
