Feed the Penguins!

This week in my preschool class, we are learning about PENGUINS!  I thought it would be fun to feed the penguins since we're also working on counting, 1:1 correspondence and numeral recognition.  So, I found a cute penguin picture, added a number to each of 10 penguins, printed and laminated them (for easy cleaning).  The kids just had to find the number on their penguin and 'feed' the penguin that many fish (goldfish crackers).  Once they 'fed' a few different penguins, they got to eat the goldfish themselves.  The kids loved it!

Jelly Fish

What you'll need: Hostess Sno Ball (They sell them in pink and I've seen a no-name brand for cheap at wal-mart), Twizzlers Pull-n-Peel (or thin licorice rope), cherry sour balls (also come in cinnamon (cheaper brands found at wal-mart).








Pull apart eight or so pieces of the licorice and place on a plate, place a pink sno ball on top and cut a sour ball in half and place on top for the eyes. Great for the Spongebob fans as well! ;)

Octopuses!

What you'll need: Hot Dogs, Water, Ketchup, Goldfish Crackers.





Cut the end (leaving about an inch or so uncut) of a hot dog in half, turn and cut in half again making four pieces (or 4 long legs), cut each of those 'legs' in half making 8 legs. Place the cut hot dog into a pot of boiling water. The hot dog will cook and as it does it usually turns up-side-down and opens up. It is done when the legs curl up. Take it out and let it cool a bit on a paper towel. Place on a plate and add ketchup eyes and goldfish around to decorate.
