Muffin Tin Monday - Theme: Children's Literature

Our Muffin Tin was based on the book Growing Vegetable Soup (Books for Young Readers). We used craft sticks to labels our vegetables like they did in the book for their garden.

Puffcorn, Bananas, Cheese
Ketchup, Veggie Dogs, Corn

It was an unoffical yellow day as well. :)

Muffin Tin Tuesday- No Theme

I got a bit more creative today with our Muffin Tin. Yes, I need a life. Anyways, I made bologna flowers with black olives in the middle. (olives are a favorite around here) The cheese in the lower corner is supposed to be a sun ;). Strawberries and a leftover Easter Bunny cookie finish it off.

Muffin Tin Monday-Theme: Spring!

It's Monday again! That means Muffin Tin Monday! This weeks theme was Spring...

Pink Go-Gurt (Pink is THE color of Spring right), Strawberries, Goldfish (with basketballs, which is a Spring Sport, right?)
Scrambled Eggs (leftover from some an easter egg project), Same, Carrots (Easter Bunny loves carrots!)

Hey, I tried!

Muffin Tin Wednesday-Theme: No Theme

We are a bit late on Muffin Tin Monday!

Oranges, Oranges and Go-Gurt
Spaghetti, Spaghetti and Pickles!

Graphing With Trix Cereal

This was our first experience with graphing. The book where I got this idea said to use M&Ms maybe that would have made him more into it. He graphed out as many has colored Trix as his attention would allow and then he counted them up and figured out which color had the most cereal.

Muffin Tin Monday-Theme: Rainbow

This weeks Muffin Tin Monday theme was Rainbow. Easy, right? We just started making our rainbow jello so it was not near ready to eat, but we had plenty of other foods to make a colorful lunch today.

Orange ya glad I didn't say banana?

I had the same idea as Adventures Of A Flake a couple days ago. I wanted to try using a manual juicer with "Indy". Alas, no one I knew had one. So when I finally made it to the store I found a pretty good one for about 3 bucks. We didn't get much juice but he really enjoyed the process. And the tasting. Then we tasted ours compared to the store bought kind. He said he loved both.

Muffin Tin Monday-Theme: No Theme

No theme this week over at Muffin Tin Monday, so ours is pretty boring!

Back Row L-R: Pickles, Strawberries and Gushers Fruit Snacks
Front Row L-R: Organic Ravioli, Organic Ravioli and Corn

A little Late, But We Can Still Celebrate!

Awesome rhyming title because we celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday today! (Even though it was yesterday!)

We read a bunch of Dr. Seuss books.

Watched and ate "Green Eggs and Ham". Didn't have any ham so I used Bologna and meatless sausage patty shaped into the letters H-A-M! Sometimes you gotta get creative.

And we made a Cat In The Hat Hat!

These are the awesome sites I got these ideas from:

Marshmallow Rainbow

This project came from No Time For Flashcards.

We took a bag a fruit flavored mini marshmallows (most were already hard and they would have been thrown out anyways!) He separated them into the four colored cups and then glued them onto a rainbow shape I drew (not very well might I add).

(Trying something new with the Picasa Collage Maker...)
