Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Snack

We wrapped up our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom theme with some paint.

Stamped letters on the Coconut tree.


We painted a trunk and then did hand prints.
Then we used the letters in our name to make them climb the coconut tree.
Only one little one wasn't into paint on their hands.
That's ok - we traced them and then little Mister painted with a paint brush.
Both worked. 

Dug for letters in our discovery table. 
LOVE this picture.
They have the look of discovery! 
That's exactly what is supposed to happen at this table.

Yummy snack.
apples, wafer crackers, grapes and alphabits cereal = Coconut tree


Snack time is such a great time to learn.
We learn how to follow steps in order, how to serve each other, how to pass things, we talk about the color, taste and shapes of food, and we discuss whatever is on our preschoolers little minds.
Each day we have a "chef".
The chef helps serve the food.
They can wear the chef hat if they'd like.
I love snack time.

Celery Lovers

Have you ever seen so many kids smiling over celery?







To kick off our year of learning our letters, we are doing a two week theme with the story book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom". 
This week for snack we made Coconut Tree Snacks.


Ingredients:  Celery, cheese whiz (or peanut butter), and Alpha Bits cereal.
Very fun.
Served with a side of extra Alpha Bits to munch on.
The kids were very into it.
All but one or two tried it and the majority of them ate over half of it.
Lots of new celery lovers - at least for those 10 minutes.
