Making fufu

When we study cultures, we try to use as many different senses as possible. During our study of Africa, Sweet Daughter wanted to make fufu. I had never heard of fufu, so this was going to be exciting.

If you have never read this book, you should find it. It covers many different countries and is interesting in many different ways.

 

 This is where Sweet Daughter first heard of fufu and decided she wanted to make and eat some.

First time using a peeler. She did great!

Mashing is hard work!

She rolled them into 4 balls so we could each have some with dinner.

 She was so pleased with her fufu and tomato soup. I love when the kids find something new they want to try. It's that smile and confidence I wish every person could understand.
