Macaroni Picture

Glue the shape 3/4 the way closed and stuff with cotton or batting. at the pointy end of the teardrop shape, add a small pink pom pom nose and embroidery floss whiskers. Add googly eyes.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went
Mary went, Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
He followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play
Laugh and play, laugh and play
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out
Turned it out, turned it out
And so the teacher turned it out
But still it lingered near.

And waited patiently about
Patiently about, patiently about
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear.

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
Love Mary so? Love Mary so?
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cried.

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
The teacher did reply.

Mouse Snack
Have your children use a heart cookie cutter to cut a piece of bread. Have them then spread jam on the bread and fold it in half (this makes a mouse shape), then add a chocolate chip eye and a licorice string tail.

Mickey Mouse Snack
Give your children two vanilla wafers. Have them break one in half. Have them spread frosting on the whole wafer and then add the halves as ears. Then they can add M&M's Eyes and Nose, and pretzel whiskers.
