Today's Flashback Friday is a goodie! This story & video, make sure you watch it down below, comes all the way from 2013. Look how cute these little kiddos are! All of them in the video graduated Little Builders Preschool, a ministry of YWAM San Diego/Baja, and are on to expanding their minds in local schools or homeschooling. I am so very proud of these guys.
To give a little background to the video & post we had been studying the farm and were talking about why farms are important and what kinds of foods we get from various parts of the farm. We discussed how we get milk and the process by which that is achieved now versus 50 years ago. We also discussed how people used to make butter in olden days and how it is made now.
This past week in our Little Builders Preschool we've been learning about the farm. We learned some of the animals on the farm and the kids learned a very silly song about all the sounds you hear on a farm. I'll upload a video of our silly song later. {Look for that video in a future Flashback Friday}
On Friday, we did a little science by making butter from scratch. We talked about how butter comes from milk and that milk comes from cows. We talked about how our farmer friends used to make butter by churning it in big barrels but now there are machines to make it.
We watched our small baby food jars filled with whipping cream turn from liquid to a very thick liquid all the way to a solidish ball of butter. It took a little bit of time but we had fun shaking our jars while dancing around the room to some Hyper Static Union. Needless to say, our preschool friends, foundations school boys and special guests (one of the base family's boys were out of school & joined us) had tons of fun.
When the butter was compete, we even got to taste it on a slice of bread during snack time. It was very yummy! Enjoy a short video of our class making their butter.
