Next, we moved on to her alphabet workbook. Munch found the stickers with M words and practiced writing the letter-
before beginning her letter collage onto which she glued some dry macaroni-
We had a puppet to assemble- and Munch loved making her monkey-
I was really excited about our super cute, super easy food project after getting the idea off the web. I melted some pink candy melts while Munch stuck marshmallows onto lollipop sticks.
The marshmallow pops got a dip in the pink candy then sprinkled with decorations 
The only tricky thing was where to put them while they cooled and the coating dried- they were too top heavy to stand in a tumbler. In the end, I propped a cooling rack on a few cans which worked perfectly!
Munch got to enjoy one as part of, what else? A muffin tin meal! I filled it with bunny mac & cheese (Munch's favorite), meatballs, macadamia nuts, mandarin orange segments, and a marshmallow pop- all washed down with a glass of milk-
After naptime, which gave me a chance to clean up, Munch and I finished up her mermaid craft. Earlier in the day, she painted some tissue paper (a la Eric Carle) with green, teal, and blue dot markers 
After it dried, she glued squares of her painted tissue paper onto a mermaid shape and decorated it with sequins
I cut it out for her and we glued it onto a water-scene background done in glitter glue-
Last activities for the day were a batch of "hide and seek" muffins to go with dinner (the cherries she pushed into the center of the batter sink into the center of the muffin during baking)
and some exploration with magnets.

The monkey is great & what a fun (and EASY) idea for a food project with the marshmallows. I might have to try that one.
Oh, man! What an awesome project! I love the way you are exploring letters. Can I send Birk over? I was so good with my first kid, but poor Birk is struggling now in 2nd grade and I'm panicking.
We've been busy, too, and it's taking it's toll. Hope you can relax and enjoy your holiday.
The mermaid is awesome!
What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
