What an experience we had today making our very own vegan rhubarb scones from scratch with the rhubarb we’ve grown at nursery.
We went to our garden to see the rhubarb we previously planted that we have been taking care of by watering it regularly. It was now time to be picked and used. 
“This one is very big.”
”I’m so strong, I can pull the rhubarb out.”
After picking the rhubarb we washed it and cut it into small pieces, adding some water and 2 teaspoons of sugar, the next step was to put it into the microwave which we discussed the safety rules for.
“I help my mum at home to cut up.”
“I’ll put one more little bit in.”
The children can independently select the ingredients needed as they follow our visual recipe. Firstly we measured out the amounts required using mathematical language of more and less. Once we made our ingredients into a dough we rolled it out developing our fine motor skills and lastly we put the scones in the oven taking great care with the times as we don’t want the firemen to visit 🫢.
“I’ll put all the butter in.”
”Its at number 10, we need more.”
“It smells like sweeties.”
“I’m going to roll it into a ball.”
The children take great pride in using the produce they have grown and are so proud to take these home and share with their families, why don’t you try this at home, discover the joy of watching your vegetables grow and create something you can all enjoy!!!😃
Here are the children’s delicious rhubarb vegan scones. Yum!!
