Muffin Tin Monday

Today's theme at HCO was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs/Children's Literature. We checked the "neatball" book out last week but I did not get my thinking cap together in time to pull that one off. Instead I chose a nursery rhyme book from the girls' bookshelf and raided our pantry.




Bell sandwiches-- Mary Mary Quite Contrary
Water-- Jack and Jill
Haystacks-- Little Boy Blue
Eggs-- Humpty Dumpty
Grape Spider-- Little Miss Muffet
Mouse shaped cheese-- Hickory Dickory Dock

I took some liberties with the grape spiders and mouse shaped cheese but thought it turned out okay. The girls did not enjoy the dry spaghetti noodle legs shoved in their grapes though. And for the haystacks, my chow mein noodles were a little stale, so I melted some Hershey Kisses leftover from last week with some peanut butter and they were good. After they ate, we read the selected rhymes and discussed why I picked each item. Hopefully next week I will feel a lot more creative!
