吃瓢虫!Eating ladybirds!

We had lots of fun making this ladybird and video, but not as much fun as EATING it!

 As you can see cooking is a great way for kids to learn a language.  Repetitive use of 把。吧and 吗 is used, as well as position, body parts, and useful vocab to describe the yummy foods used.  We learned a new word 涂 to spread!

If you are a family learning together, start off saying a few ingredients in Chinese as you bake, and GROW FROM THERE. We learn a new word every time we bake! Here is the script:

我饿了。 我要吃瓢虫。

你要吃瓢虫吗?我们做好吃的瓢虫吧?
