Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Making Arroz Con Leche

Related Episode: Moving On

Subjects/Skills: Math; Following Directions

Materials Needed:
1 cup of white enriched rice
2 cups of water
1 cup of milk
1 can of sweet condensed milk
1 cinnamon stick

Directions:
Talk about how Cassie felt when her big sister Sophie went away to school. Ask, "What did Cassie learn from Sophie? How did Cassie feel about her big sister leaving? What made her feel better?"

Create a "cooking school" in your kitchen. Tell your child that you can make arroz con leche together, just like Cassie and Sophie made.

Let your child help you gather and measure the ingredients. It's important for her to stay away from the stove and hot food while you're cooking, but she can mix and measure as you prepare the dish. To make arroz con leche, follow these directions.

Put the water and cinnamon stick into a pot. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the flame and add rice.
Simmer the rice.
When the rice is fully cooked, add the milk.
Take the pot off the flame, carefully remove the cinnamon stick (then add the condensed milk and stir.)
Wait until the arroz con leche cools a bit, then eat up!
