Calories be damned! Try this Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake

After browning/charring 10 oz marshmallows in the broiler (then cooling), blend/process with milk (any), vanilla extract, sour cream/plain yogurt (cuts the sweet and gives tang) and vanilla ice cream. Pour into chilled 8 oz glasses and garnish with whipped cream (opt) and 1 warm perfectly toasted marshmallow (browned over a gas burner or with your kitchen torch). Serves 4-5. Can be doubled or tripled. For a party, prepare the marshmallow/milk/vanilla/sour cream portion and keep chilled, then when ready to serve, blend with ice cream. An insanely delicious treat.

Play and Grow Smart-er Tips

Nancy Pyne-Hapke, author of “Play and Grow Smart, A Guide Supporting Brain Development, Birth through Five,” has been giving tips to aid your child’s optimum skill development through proactive neuroscience-based activities weekly since 2010. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books.

“FINE MOTOR” developmental skill definition: controlling and coordinating small muscle movements (dexterity in grasping, pincer movements, lateral movements, squeezing, threading, building, shaking, turning, spinning, pasting, lacing, cutting, drawing, writing, etc.), eye-hand coordination.   

THE CRITICAL WINDOWS during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for Fine Motor development is 3 – 10 years. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing Fine Motor experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run.

A FEW DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for FINE MOTOR development: push and pull toys, hand-held teethers, toys that squeak, rattles, puzzles, sorters and stackers, activity sets, hands-on products, play phones, craft projects, construction sets, cause-and-effect investigative toys.                 

Some “FINE MOTOR” tidbits:

**  FROM 12 – 18 months, Toddler drops, throws, stacks, bangs, pokes, twists and squeezes things.

**  BY 18 months, she

    .. likes to pull off some clothes

        (control over her environment).

    .. puts a round lid on a round pot

        (awareness of matching size/shape).

    .. carries a stuffed animal or doll

        (emulating you carrying her around).

**  NOW THAT he takes objects from place to place, there’s also the beginning concept of possession… “MINE!”

Upcoming – “Fine motor, pt. 6”
