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.
