Penguin Day!

Today hubby and I baby-sit for 2 of our little grand-kiddos. It was Penguin Day. Well, that was the theme for storys and activities today.

I read 2 books, "And Tango makes Three" by Justin Richardson and "Playful Little Penguins" by Tony Mitton. Then I had the kids dress in feet, tummys, beaks and hat that had them looking like little penguins themselves. They frolicked around and had fun laughing at each other. I recited a penguin poem and they acted it out. They colored penguin pages and did dot to dot and mazes.

Next I laid out some laminated penguins that had numbers on their tummys. The kids were given goldfish crackers and instructed to "feed" the penguins the number of fish written on the tummys. The kiddos ate lots of goldfish too! I found some penguin videos on You Tube and we had fun dancing with the "Happy Feet" penguins.

After lunch and rest time, we made Penguin Cookys.

1 chocolate sandwich cookie and 1 chocolate kiss They twisted the top off of their cookie and carefully break it in half. Then place the two pieces on top of the bottom half with the icing side up and spread a little out for wings. Then they placed the chocolate kiss at the top for the penguins head.

Make these..very easy to make AND easy to eat!
