Menu for the week: 7 options for children's breakfast every day

Boys ride an escalator in the subway

We rode up the stairs, got on the train and went back. We got off after two stops and looked - it wasn’t our station!

“We probably went in the wrong direction,” says Vovka.

We boarded another train and went in the opposite direction. We arrive - again, not our station! Then we got scared.

“We need to ask someone,” says Vovka.

- How can you ask? Do you know what station we boarded at?

- No. And you?

- I do not know either.

“Let’s go to all the stations, maybe we’ll find it somehow,” says Vovka.

We started driving around the stations. We drove and drove, and even my head began to spin.

Metro. Nosov story for children to read

My mother, Vovka, and I were visiting Aunt Olya in Moscow. On the very first day, my mother and aunt went to the store, and Vovka and I were left at home. They gave us an old album with photographs for us to look at. Well, we looked and looked until we got tired of it. Vovka said: ─ We won’t see Moscow if we sit at home all day! They began to look out the window. Opposite is a metro station. I say: ─ Let's go for a ride on the subway. We arrived at the station, went down the stairs and went underground. At first it seemed scary, but then nothing, interesting. We drove two stops and got out. “We’ll look, ─ we think, ─ the station ─ and back.” They began to inspect the station, and there the stairs were moving. People go up and down it. We also began to ride: up and down, up and down... There is no need to walk at all, the ladder carries itself. We rode up the stairs, got on the train and went back. We got off after two stops and looked ─ not our station! “We probably went in the wrong direction,” says Vovka. We boarded another train and went in the opposite direction. We arrive ─ again, not our station! Then we got scared. “We need to ask someone,” says Vovka. ─ How can you ask? Do you know what station we boarded at? ─ No. And you? ─ I don’t know either. “Let’s go to all the stations, maybe we’ll find it somehow,” says Vovka. We started driving around the stations. We drove and drove, and even my head began to spin. Vovka began to whine: ─ Let's get out of here! ─Where are we going? ─ It doesn’t matter where! I want to go upstairs. ─What should you do upstairs? ─ I don’t want to go underground! And he began to roar. ─ There’s no need, ─ I say, ─ to cry. They'll take you to the police. ─ Let them take it! Uh-uh!.. ─ Well, let's go, let's go, ─ I say. ─ Just don’t cry. There's a policeman already looking at us! I grabbed his hand and quickly went up the stairs. Let's go up. “Where will it take us? ─ I think. ─What will happen to us now? Suddenly we look - mother and Aunt Olya are coming towards us along another staircase. I’ll scream: ─ Mom! They saw us and shouted; ─ What are you doing here? And we shout: ─ We can’t get out of here! We didn’t have time to shout anything else: the stairs dragged us up, and them down. We arrived upstairs ─ and quickly went down another staircase, following them. Suddenly we look ─ and they are coming towards us again! They saw us and shouted: ─ Where are you going? Why didn't they wait for us? ─ And we’re coming for you! We're coming down. I say to Vovka: ─ Let's wait. They will come to us now. We waited and waited, but they were still not there. “They’re probably waiting for us,” says Vovka. ─ Let's go. We just drove off, and they came towards us again. ─ We were waiting for you, waiting!.. ─ they shout. And everyone around is laughing. We arrived up again ─ and quickly down again. They finally caught them. Mom started scolding us for leaving without asking, and we started telling how we lost the station. Aunt says: ─ I don’t understand how you lost the station! I travel here every day, and I have never lost a station. Well, let's go home. We got on the train. Go. ─ Oh, you Poshekhons! ─ says aunt. ─ We were looking for mittens, but they were in our belts. We got lost in three pines. Lost the station! And so they laughed at us all the way. We arrive at the station, my aunt looked around and said: ─ Ugh! You completely confused me! We need to go to Arbat, but we arrived at Kursky Station. They sat down in the wrong direction. We changed to another train and went back. And Auntie no longer laughed at us. And she didn’t call them Poshekhontsy.

Monday: milk porridge

Oatmeal is optimal, but many kids don’t really like it. Don't worry, rice, buckwheat or millet porridge are perfect for breakfast. To attract your little picky eater to the table, diversify the porridge with fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants) or pieces of pre-steamed dried fruit. For flavor, add a pinch of vanilla or cinnamon and garnish with a drizzle of sweet syrup (such as strawberry or chocolate). Don't indulge in highly allergenic nuts and honey.

Angry dad

When a son or daughter does something, the smile disappears from dad’s face, he becomes stern and begins to lecture. It is this moment that we will try to depict in the following figure.

Stages of work:

  1. On a piece of paper we draw a rectangle at a slight angle. This is dad's head. For authenticity, the chin should be sharpened and the ear should be drawn on the right.
  2. We make wavy hair above the head. The eyes are in the form of inverted arcs. Above them we depict thick eyebrows. The nose will be hooked, and the mouth will be slightly open, because dad is swearing.
  3. We draw a straight horizontal line under the head – these are the shoulders. Add sleeves and highlight the neckline of the sweater.
  4. Draw the end line of the sweater, from which the trousers begin. The trouser legs should diverge slightly in different directions. Add boots at the bottom.
  5. Let's start drawing out the hands. The right one needs to be rested on the side with the help of two triangles, and the left one should be raised and a palm with the index finger extended upward should be added - dad is doing a moral lesson.

After completing the sketch, erase all the auxiliary lines with an eraser and color the dad with pencils or felt-tip pens.

Thursday: casserole

It can be not only cottage cheese, but also meat, vegetable or cheese. The secret of its preparation is simple: just chop the desired ingredients, pour in the sauce (beaten eggs or regular sour cream will do), sprinkle with grated cheese and bake in the oven. If your child is a fan of the traditional cottage cheese version, add raisins, dates, pieces of dried fruit or marmalade to the casserole.


Cottage cheese casserole with pumpkin in a slow cooker

  • Cottage cheese - 500 g.
  • Pumpkin - 400 g.
  • Eggs - 3 pcs.
  • Semolina - 1/2 cup
  • Sugar - 1/2 cup
  • Sour cream - 200 g.
  • Baking powder - 1 tsp.
  • Vanilla sugar - 1 tsp.
  • Butter

Preparation:

Grate the pumpkin. Can be cut into pieces. Add sugar to eggs and beat until foamy. Just beat a little, no need to get thick. Add cottage cheese to the beaten eggs and mix. Add semolina and mix. Add pumpkin, baking powder and vanilla and stir.

Grease the multicooker bowl generously with butter and sprinkle with semolina. Pour the curd mixture into a coated bowl. Set the “baking” mode for 1 hour. But don’t get it right after the end of the program. You need to leave the casserole in the “warm” mode for another 50 minutes. And only after this, the children's cottage cheese casserole with pumpkin in a slow cooker will be ready.


Rice casserole with raisins

  • Rice – ½ cup
  • Sugar – 1/4 cup
  • Chicken egg – 1 pc.
  • Raisins and dried apricots – 1 cup
  • Sour cream – 1 tbsp. for the “dough” and 2 tbsp. spoons for sweet sauce
  • Honey – 1 tbsp. l. for the sauce
  • Butter – for greasing the pan

Preparation:

Rinse the rice several times in cold water and boil it until half cooked. To do this, you need to pour a lot of water into the pan, boil the rice for 10-15 minutes, then drain the excess water through a colander. Rinse the dried apricots and raisins thoroughly and pour boiling water over them for a few minutes. Chop the dried apricots. Pieces of dried apricots should be made approximately the same size as raisins. Mix the egg and sugar in the container in which you will beat them.

Using a mixer or whisk, beat the sugar and egg until smooth and foamy. Now you need to thoroughly mix all the ingredients: semi-boiled rice, prepared dried fruits, beaten eggs and sour cream. You need to coat the pan in which you will bake with butter. Then place the future casserole in it. We chose silicone molds with children's characters.

Bake sweet rice casserole with dried fruits in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Make sure that the casserole does not overheat, otherwise the burnt rice will crunch on your teeth. You can top the casserole with jam, or you can make a sweet and satisfying sauce. To do this, whisk sour cream and a spoonful of honey. The sauce is ready, pour it over the casserole and serve.


Buckwheat casserole with cottage cheese

  • Buckwheat - 4 tbsp.
  • Cottage cheese - 100 g.
  • Chicken eggs - 2 pcs.
  • Sour cream - 2 tbsp.
  • Sugar - 2 tsp.
  • Breadcrumbs - for sprinkling the mold
  • Butter - for greasing the pan

Preparation:

Boil the crumbly buckwheat porridge in water. No added salt or sugar to it. Rub the cottage cheese through a sieve until it becomes even.

In a separate bowl, mix chicken eggs with sour cream and sugar. Divide it into two parts. Leave 2/3 in one part, 1/3 in the second.

Add grated cottage cheese and sweet sour cream and egg sauce (2/3 of the previous step) to the buckwheat porridge and mix. Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top. If you don’t have them ready-made, you can quickly make them from a piece of dried bread, grating them on a fine grater. Or you can sprinkle with semolina.

Place the buckwheat-curd mixture into the mold. Pour the remaining sour cream and egg sauce on top (1/3 part).

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees. Let the buckwheat casserole cool slightly, then cut into portions.

Buckwheat casserole with cottage cheese can be served with jam, sour cream or just as is, depending on the child’s preferences. And you can wash it down with a sweet compote of dried fruits or jelly made from jam.
