Let’s bake a cake with expired hot dog shoes!

Porridge & Play Whiteinch Week 2

Wednesday 25th October 2023

We LOVE food at Whiteinch Library Porridge & Play! We love to EAT it, MAKE it and even WEAR IT!

Our Whiteinch friends had a grand time at Porridge & Play this week exploring all things foodie…

We made a fab MUCKY BREW!

We got to make a fantastic mess wearing all sorts of imaginary food…

Egg, flour, expired hot dogs for shoes, last week’s chocolate candy in your ears, donuts on

your face…

The MUCKY BREW can go on forever because at the end, when you are all

messy and sticky you can just hop in the shower and wash yourself to the tune of ‘The Washing Song!’

We BAKED A CAKE with the input of our fantastic Whiteinch Chefs who are packed full of pioneering culinary ideas! The result was OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Check out these incredible ingredients:

Baking soda, cow’s milk , 3 eggs, flour, chocolate, 1 glass of sugar, baking powder, fish, 3 drops of strawberry, a smelly sock, lemon zest, mango, 30% baking soda, roses, a strawberry donut, 3 packets of oreos and a rainbow lassoed out of the sky!

We stirred in EVERYTHING, baked it in the oven and had a great tasting session and chat

about our edible creation. And of course we ATE the lovely Porridge & Play spread like we do in every session !

Next week…there will be Spooky Fun coming to Porridge & Play at Whiteinch Library so SEE YOU ALL THERE!
