We didn't eat any peas yet this week, but the sweet snap peas that I was snacking on last week gave me the idea for one of our activities. It had been a while since we did a counting activity (I don't think I have done one since we did the ladybugs on the blades of grass in our lapbook). So I took green construction paper and cut out 10 pea pods for each girl. I painted some of the paper green so we would have a different color green. When it was dry I cut out circles for peas. During our lesson time I lined the pods up and I asked the girls to get the first pod in the row and then I wrote the numeral 1 on one side, we turned it over and I put on one dot of white glue, to which they attached one pea. I did the same for the second, third, fourth and fifth pea pod.
Then I also wrote the numerals on the extra pea pods so we could use it as a matching activity.
Our other food related activity was based on the octopus/cheerios activity from last week. I cut out a circle from poster board to fit inside my round tray. Using red marker I gave it a thin red "sauce" border one inch from the edge. Then I painted the cheese. When it was dry I drew lines for the slices and 3 circles in each slice. The girls enjoy placing Froot Loops in the circles for the pepperoni. Of course, I let them eat the cereal/pepperoni when they are done.
The pizza is a great idea! Love how easy it is to make and put together. Fun!
