Mitten Count:
M was more excited about taste testing than cutting out mittens.
Can you tell I went a little crazy with the cookie cutter this week? For this snack I made a few pieces of toast and had Mmadelynn spread the peanut butter.
It’s a miracle any made it on the bread because I’m convinced she would scoop it out of the jar by the handful if I let her!
Painted Mittens:
Yup you guessed it, we pulled out that mitten cookie cutter again and cut bread into mitten shapes. Then I colored a small amount of water with some food coloring and let Madelynn paint the bread.
I planned to pop them in the toaster oven so they weren’t soggy, but M decided she didn’t mind and started munching on her mittens about halfway through, so there are no after pictures of this one!
Animals in a Mitten:
We actually did this one on Monday and Tuesday since we were on the road. Luckily Madelynn loved “The Mitten” by Jan Brett so this simple snack was a huge hit. She had fun putting the animals in and taking them out of the mitten and there was literally no prep involved for me. WIN!
Guess who is making the mitten activity right now????
Love it! Can't go wrong with a good set of retelling props 🙂
what a lovely blog, thanks for sharing your ideas!
Do you have the mitten printable with the snowflakes? That is super cute!!!
