Toddler ages: 26 months, 26 months, 3.5 years
Materials you'll need:
-a honeysuckle vine
I wish you could smell this...
My mother's entryway is covered with vines of honeysuckle and the 8-year-old girl and I thought it would be fun to teach the twins how to such the honey off the stamens (is that what they're called?).
First, we showed them the plucked honeysuckle...
Then we showed them how to pull out the stamen with the drop of honey...
...and suck off the drop of honey...
Twin B never could quite figure out how to tenderly suck off the honey. He just tried to obliterate the flowers from the stems...
....and expectantly waited for us to give him more...
Sucking honeysuckles is great, but be careful, because all that close contact with pollen can make your nose itch...
Hope your toddlers love this, too!
