FIRST STEPS AT HOME

In the lead up to Easter we made an easy cross craft which you should, hopefully, have all the materials for at home. This is also a project which can be adapted for older children so they can make some funky abstract art. You can find the instructions by following this link:

Here are the results of our efforts:

Here is a little prayer that you can do with your littlies:

When I’m scared or worried
I’ll just sit down and pray.
I’ll ask God to help me and
He’ll take my worries away.
I’ll say goodbye to all my fears,
His presence sets me free
Although I may not understand
I feel God’s peace in me.

We always have a snack at First Steps so here is an easy recipe which everyone can help make:

1. Sift together:
   1½ C of self-raising flour
   (If you don’t have it just use normal flour with about 1/2t of baking powder for every cup of flour)
   ½ t cinnamon
   ½ C of sugar

2. Mix in the remaining ingredients:
   ½ C of coconut
   1C milk
   1C of cheese (you don’t need swiss)
   60g melted butter
   1 egg

3. Put into a greased 20cm ring pan

4. Bake at 190 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until cooked.

5. You can glaze with some melted butter and sprinkle some cinnamon on top and eat it while it is still warm. You can even spread butter on it. (Normally our snacks are healthier than this!)

No photo of this as we ate it all in one session. Yum.
