ELMO!
Kyle's daycare class is learning the letters of the alphabet and each Monday when they start a new letter I bring them a snack that starts with that letter.
It has been very easy up until now....
A is for Apple
B is for Banana
C is for Cookie
D is for Doughnut holes
E is for .... eggs, eggplant???
Well this letter truely stumped me. I knew that I could not send hard boiled eggs or egg salad for the kids. I didn't even know what an egg plant looked like myself so that was pretty much out.
I talked with my best friend about it and she suggested Eggo cereal which I immediately went out and got. But then I was worried that the kids would not know what and Eggo was... (Yes... I know I am putting WAY to much thought in to this project!)
So on Friday night, I said ELMO! All kids know who Elmo is! I know Elmo is not a food group but I could make something and use his picture for the kids! After Kyle went to sleep I searched the internet and found and E coloring sheet with Elmo on it and ran copies for the class. Then on Saturday, Mom, Kyle and I set out on (what we thought) would be an easy task of getting Elmo cupcake toppers. WRONG! After visiting 2 Wal-marts, Kroger, Piggly Wiggly, Rite Aid, Dollar General, Michael's, Party City, Target, we finally found something at AC Moores. Well only 8 somethings.... I had to figure something out for the other 16.... That is when the make toothpick toppers from Elmo stickers came into play. Ben was a really good sport and helped me cut them out because everyone knows I failed cutting in kindergarten.... :-) And along came the mini cupcakes for Kyle's class with Elmo! The ELMO cupcakes were a huge hit with the kids on Monday and they have enjoyed the Eggo cereal all week for snack time.
Now on to the letter F....
