Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Put water onto boil. While waiting for water, collect the following:

One mug and spoon for each person.

Instant non-fat dry milk - measure 1/3 cup per person into a large bowl - leave measuring cup in bowl.

White sugar in bowl - place 1 tsp. measuring spoon in the bowl.

Cocoa in bowl (or serve from containter) - place 1 tsp. measuring spoon in the container.

Cinnamon container to sprinkle.

Collect other yummy things to add to the mix (mini marshmallows - my little guy loves counting these into the cup, crushed peppermint, choc. chips, etc.)

Let each child (with the supervision and help of an adult) add one measure of each to their cup. Adult add boiling water (with great care) and mix. Enjoy with a good book!

(Sure, mom can make all this herself but if you have young ones who like to do-it-themselves, this is a hit!)

Love,

I don't know, Angie. That sounds pretty Montessori-ish to me!

not something I might do on a normal basis.. but would be a fun thing to do for a winter birthday party.. activity and snack in one. hmm and I have a winter 5th birthday coming up next week.. this could be fun.
