Ingredients for homemade sweetness
For a homemade analogue of “Chupa-Chups” you will need: – honey, – sugar, – some fruits.
Let your child choose the fruit for making candy. You just have to grind them with a blender. Try to keep the resulting mass homogeneous. If you don’t have a blender at home, it doesn’t matter. Just chop the fruit with a fine grater.
The phrase “lollipop” was first documented by the British in 1769. It meant a candy made of sugar and molasses.
Now you need to add sugar and honey to the resulting mass, if you are categorically against ordinary sugar, you can only do with honey or use, for example, fructose.
Place the resulting mixture in small molds, it is convenient to use silicone ones. Stick a stick into each future candy. That’s it, you can put it all in the refrigerator. It will take about two hours for the candies to harden. After that, carefully remove them from the molds and give them to the child.
Making slime is not just for mom. This is an exciting game in which the kid must participate. Let your child make candies himself, lay out the mixture in molds, stick sticks. This will develop his motor skills and just have fun.
As a tasty slime for the development of the basal muscles of the tongue, you can use not only candy on a stick, but also ice cream. You can also cook it at home, there are many great recipes on the Internet.
Do not think that eating slime is useless, not at all. The fact is that any licking and sucking movements can help the child to strengthen the muscles of the root of the tongue. This is very important, because it depends on their state how the child pronounces some sounds, for example, the sound “p”. Some speech therapists advise teaching a small child to lick dishes. It’s funny, of course, but it makes sense. You will have a great alternative – a delicious slime.
