Fashion, Fairies and Chocolate

Fashion, fairies and chocolate are a few of the items that have interested the girls lately. They have been designing dresses for their dolls:

We also went to the Arboretum which had exhibits on chocolate and fairy gardens! For the chocolate one, the girls made chocolate cookies:

We learned how chocolate is made, and got to taste it in its various forms, including cacao nibs!

Onto milk chocolate...better!

The girls played a game where they had to figure out the process of how chocolate chip cookies are made (wheat to flour, cows for butter, etc.). We also visited the children's touch and smell garden where they did a scavenger hunt for a cacao tree and helped maintain the plants:

The Tiny Treasures fairy exhibit was a huge hit. The girls brought their own fairies along.




At the end, we were inspired to create our own fairy garden! (Post to come!)
