to the children by showing them the written word "cat" and helping them
to see that it begins with an "C". Cut a large cat shape out of paper
and write the letter "C" on it. Have the children tear or cut out
magazine pictures beginning with the letter "C" and then glue the pictures
on the cat shape.

Cobbler, cobbler, mend my
shoe,
Pound
fists together in rhythm.
Get it done by half past
two.
Let

'Cos my toe is peeping through,
Push
your thumb up through left hand and wiggle.
Cobbler, Cobbler, mend my
shoe.
Pound
fists together again.

Hands up, and

Then I'll give you half

stick into cheese triangle like a mast; stick pretzel into peanut butter
and you have a sailboat!
Children love to samply what's cooking! They can mix up their own dough clay, use it imaginatively and then eat their creations!
Help children measure ingredients, then mix with a spoon or by hand. Add more milk powder if mixture is too sticky. Let kids experiment with the dough as it were clay! They can decorate their creations with pretzels, veggie sticks, dried or fresh fruit.....YUM!

with one part water until thick and creamy. Add food coloring or

and powdered tempera paint. Can be used in place of glitter!
