Felt Pizza and Apple Day!

Jake and I made a shape pizza this week. The blog I swiped it from (see link) used colored foam pieces, but I decided on using felt instead since it's much cheaper. :) After we were done playing with the pieces and talking about shapes, I put it all in a ziplock bag and put it in the little kid kitchen - the girls have been in LOVE with making felt pizzas when playing cooking.





Surprisingly, Jake was very orderly in where he placed his pizza toppings. :)

Not surprisingly, he rolled it into a burrito and pretended to eat it.

I know you all think I'm crazy 'cause we do a lot of random activities at this house (I guess so I don't get bored with the day to day mommy routine) - but we had Apple Day yesterday!.... much scaled back from last years apple festivities, but still really fun. :)

In the morning we made handprint apple trees...









Emma made one later when she got home from school

Then after lunch we made apple lacing cards...

They colored the apples, then I glued them to some cardboard, cut them out, and punched out some holes




Lastly, after Emma got home, we made mini caramel apples (but substituted chocolate instead of caramel, since the kids aren't so into caramel)...







This afterschool treat was Jake-approved!
