Hey there -
This week's theme was "Monsters" - and boy was it fun! The second half of the week we focused mostly on the book "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak - a classic! I decorated the dramatic play area to look like Max's room from "Where the Wild Things Are" - it had his boat and everything! We did many arts and crafts projects in which the kids made their own "monsters", "wild things" or crafted their own gnarly teeth for a monster. It was a blast!
We also had some creative snacks and lunch - one day we had "Monster Mash" which was applesauce, banana, honey, peanut butter and cinnamon all mashed together. Another day we had chocolate pudding (mud), pistachio pudding (green slime), crushed oreos (dirt), chocolate chips (bugs) and gummy worms (worms) all mixed together - another version of "Monster Mash". For lunch one day we made "Monster Pizza" which the kids really got into. Its basically English muffins with pizza sauce, cheese and toppings baked in the oven. I bought the little mini pepperonis for their teeth and then cut the normal sized pepperoni in half for their eyes and made them look like scary monsters. The fresh red pepper was the mouth. The kids loved it - one kid repeated verbatim the recipe to his dad when he was picked up so that his parents would make it for dinner one night :)
We did a ton of other stuff as well. A fun week was had by all!
Next week we'll be celebrating St. Patrick's Day and the week after that we'll be focusing all on Dr. Seuss (its his birthday in the month of March). So we have a lot of exciting adventures up ahead at Monarch Kids!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the weather!
