We received a wonderful homemade gift of jars with all the dry ingredient supplies for a complete meal (soup, cornbread, and cookies) for Christmas from Carl and Meghan. We were so excited because we wanted to make the soup yesterday, but forgot we had to soak the beans and then didn't read, as well as we should have, that we only needed half of the jar of beans. So what do you do with extra beans, a great activity for Izzy. We gave her two big bowls, a measuring cup, a teaspoon, and a medicine cup. She had a blast smashing them, pouring, feeling, comparing, dumping, etc. She had so much fun, that after her two bowls of soup and cornbread that we called "cake" (which got her to eat it), she signed me "please" and then said "beans". Winner with her.
