Have you ever had Boba Tea or Pearl Tea? You know those chewy, soft balls that sink to the bottom of milky tea that you suck up through a fat milkshake straw? The drink originated in Taiwan as a novelty for children, and has since taken the world by storm with bubble tea houses popping up everywhere. I have yet to be converted to boba, but I when I spotted a bag of multi-colored dried boba in one of our Asian markets, I saw the opportunity for play and exploration.
To read more, I’m writing over on the Kiwi Crate Blog today about our sensory boba adventure.
What do you think about tapioca pearls as a food or art material?

This sounds great! I think a trip to the asian market will make a good adventure as well. So many new foods to look at. Thanks!
Great idea. It will be hard to resist eating them while playing myself. Eiya loves mochi, she would love this one. : > Happy New Year. Let me know if you still want to get together. Not sure you got my last email about getting together in November.
