Some innovations have been developed to meet a need, usually to take away the work from us and giving us more time to play. Today the children looked closely at some of these innovations in the daycare; the job they do, how they work, why we use them, and why we might chose not to use them and continue doing the work the way we've always done it.
The children shared stories of how they sometimes wash dishes by hand even though they own a dishwasher or how their parents still hang their clothes out to dry even though they have a dryer.
The children had hands on experience using various tools to mix flour and water together and discussed the time line of these innovations; a wooden spoon, a hand beater and an electric mixer was tried by all.
