Young Learners: I Can Try New Foods

The dramatic play center was set up like a grocery store this week. I have a couple cash registers and a set of talking food scanners with play food. The kids took turns shopping and checking each other out at the registers. 

Then they brought their groceries "home" to cook in the kitchen area! 

Fine motor: potato head family and their veggie head  friends. 

Sensory: b is for beans! 

Art: cut veggie stamps. We created with peppers, cucumbers, broccoli, carrots, celery, and potatoes

Fine motor: body puzzles: my body floor puzzle, digestive system, hands puzzle and feet puzzle. 

Flannel board story telling: The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I made this little felt hungry caterpillar set for the kids last night. They LOVED it! 

Literature: the Two Bite Club and Gregory the Terrible Eater. Gregory is a goat who wants what he likes and not what his parents feed him. I have goat puppets, play healthy food and play garbage that the children used to act out the story as I read.  They agreed to try one new food this week and join the Two Bute Club. I have loved hearing success stories from parents this week. 

B is for books in the peace center!
