Fruits Theme ~ Banana Bugs!

 On 15 July 2013, the 4 years old 'cook up'  bugs in the theme on 'Fruits'.  In this class, children came to school in 'Yellow' theme - yellow t-shirts, pants and some even brought in yellow food containers!
Getting children involved in cooking is a good way to get them to eat -  especially to encourage them to eat vegetables.   Besides learning new words, use the opportunity to teach maths, science and to learn to clean up.  It's also a good way of bonding with your child.   Children always love to eat what they have created.
To make banana bugs,  get some bananas,
ripe bananas
chocolate chips for the 'EYES' and some pretzel sticks biscuits for the 'LEGS'.
Peel the banana.  You can ask your child to learn to peel the banana.
Place 2 chocolate chips for the 'eyes' on the banana.
Push in the pretzel sticks for the 'legs'.  Let the children count the number of 'eyes' and 'legs'.



Banana bugs!


Place in a container to bring home.
