Our girls may only be 15 months old, but if you hope to get into Stanford or UCG (University of California at Google) someday, you have to start formal education early . That’s why when Mommy or Daddy are wasting time on menial tasks like emptying the dishwasher or eating, you can often find the girls learning important skills at the Tupperware Academy.

Art

So many pretty colors – especially the lids. Swirl them around and look at the pretty patterns that emerge from the chaos. Today, abstract. Tomorrow, maybe we’ll make a mosaic.

Math

If there are two shelves and one shelf has about 80 objects on it and the other has about 120, how many objects will there be if you mix them all together?

Science

Question: What happens if I hold an object at head height and let go?

Hypothesis: Something fun.

Experiment: Drop object.

Observation: Loud noise! Wheee!

Conclusion: Fun.

Repeat: Experiments must be repeatable with the same results in order to be considered valid, so repeat test with objects of assorted size and color.

Psychology

If I grab this bowl from my sister, it makes her sad. On the other hand, it makes me happy. Emotions are weird.

Literature

“Once upon a time, there were lots of cabinets. Most of them had locks on them to keep little hands from opening them, especially the ones with mystery liquids that look yummy to drink. The Big Bad Parents didn’t have enough, though, so one day – okay, most days – the two little children decided to go exploring. Tupperware, Tupperware, let us in!”

Philosophy

If all the objects are taken out of a cabinet and there’s no lock to keep the doors shut, is there any point to putting them back in?
