food fun day.

Began with froot loops.

Froot loops are great for math concepts: charts, estimating, sorting, counting, skip counting and there are pattern cards to download here.
There are also a few games on the froot loop website.



continued with a weird lunch (idea found here)


This actually went over very well, I am sure it will make a regular rotation in our menu plans. Ephraim and Jack participated fully in the preparation as a surprise for Sol (our chef) who was in the shower at the time of lunch prep.

The Chef was most impressed. (his love language seems to be strange and wonderful food.) After three helpings, he raved and raved and spouted love all afternoon.

We agreed that they reminded us of something...

We spent a good deal of time exploring ocean creatures, giant squid, octopus, sea anemones, jelly fish... they all had a very close resemblance to our lunch.

We made a book of sorts about these gangly ocean creatures. Using some of these ideas and resources. 

and some crafty-pus came to play too... for which the froot loops made a reappearance.
