Everything from cooking lessons, to celebrity chefs and private rentals - It's a brand new Kitchener Market experience. http://www.kitchenermarket.ca/
















With an emphasis on cooking and healthy eating, and the importance of purchasing and eating local food will support local food growers in the community and in the region, the Kitchener Market offers fun and educational opportunities for children and adults alike.

Tania Heinemann, a registered holistic nutritionist and nutritional consultant practitioner, offers classes on healthy food for toddlers and babies, and food allergies.

"Many people may only get limited information from their health care provider about food introduction for their baby and it may not be accurate or up to date," says Heinemann. "In the workshop on cooking for babies, we focus on baby's digestive system and immune system and talk about what makes sense for your child."

The Market Place is also available for rent!

For more information about programming at the Market place, or about the market itself, please check the website at www.kitchenermarket.ca

Family Craft Night - Camping & Canoes

For our very first Family Craft Night, we gathered in a tent! Yes, I said a tent. Our theme was Camping and Canoes and it was only fitting that we pitched a tent and got craft inside.

Although we weren't really in the outdoors, we thought we should still think about keeping warm :). So, we painted up some paper towel rolls in colours of brown. These would end up being our logs, the main piece of our bonfire puzzle.

While our logs were drying, we decided to keep busy building paper canoes. Somehow I neglected to grab a photo of our crafty canoes so you will just have to imagine coloured canoes sewn together with yarn! (sorry).


















By now, our logs are all dry and ready for a fire teepee. Rather than each make our own individual fires, we teamed up and built one group bonfire! So, criss cross, apple sauce, we placed and stacked the logs to prep for a perfect fire.

Final step, add heat! Not real heat of course, remember, we are in a tent after all. (and indoors). So, instead, we stoked our fire with coloured tissue paper to resemble pretty coloured flames.

Without child safety sticks nearby to roast our marshmallows, we resorted to just putting them right on the fire for a quick toast. :) Perfect ending to a perfect fire and canoe building night, toasted marshmallows....mmmmmmm!

Looking forward to tonight's family craft night theme of School Time. We will be making chalkboards and school buses. Its a good thing we have a big church to craft in! Thanks Highview.
