Goldilocks and the Three Bears one has to make porridge, right?! This
activity is quite simple yet satisfying. Oatmeal decorated with banana
slices and raisins. Done.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also made bear toast - toast topped with spread Nutella and sliced bananas and raisins. Yummy! </div>

<br />
Tips:
while the kids slice their bananas - I give each child a third of a
banana - and decide which raisins to use for the eyes and mouth, an
adult can spoon the oatmeal into their bowls. (Also, quick-cooking
oatmeal is quick and simple.)<br />

Since Thumbelina was soo tiny, we decided to do a mini food.<br />
<br />

The Ugly Duckling Rolls were simple to make.<br />
<br />

For this fairy tale, we made Pearl Cookies. <br />

If you look closely at the picture, you will notice the two outer cookies have a mini marshmallow pearl and the middle cookie has a white M&M pearl.<br />

If you need a really quick Little Mermaid food idea then fix seashell pasta sprinkled with parmesan and parsley.<br />

And how about crab sandwiches. Too cute of an idea to pass by.<br />

<br />
Any type of sandwich toppings work or eat the crescent rolls plain. Just as long as you put candy eyes on top of skewers or candy sticks and stick into the top of the roll. Having the crab stare at you as you eat your roll is <strike>creepy</strike> fun.<br />

<br />
I was originally going to make candy apples for Snow White but thought better of it. I opted for the marshmallow treat apples.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Make your marshmallow treats, as directed, adding red food coloring when you add the cereal. Shape into balls.<br />
<br />

Create the stem and leaf. We used half of a candy melt and a cut candy stick painted brown with an edible pen. <br />

Rice krispie treats are also needed for The Three Billy Goats Gruff Grass Treats.<br />

And decorating is always fun. Not as fun as eating the house, but still fun.<br />

<br />
Tip: simply attaching the candies to the sticky treat walls and roof will work but only temporarily. Might want to use icing as glue unless eating is imminent.<br />

**To clarify, I used graham crackers for this test run. All of my treats had mysteriously been eaten. Hmmm. <br />

<br />
Just mix potato sticks (straw),<br />

Jack and the Beanstalk Magic Beans are probably the simplest of these fairy foods.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Jack-and-the-Beanstalk-Activities-818128"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Jack-and-the-Beanstalk-Activities-818128" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQRMqKmzLG8GoRbOezC_BRpbMHM637jUeaqh7DgT1zArQa8awpi_yKLHrUVglRQjFCHdxzWEjls91mO_QwNSTyOOiA-4A6OghT0LDX5rB6kq93tVFcb_V_0X57o6qk8EjUERJYQpFrcTo/s320/jack-and-the-beanstalk-magic+beans-materials.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Simply, and very carefully, split open the pea
pod, scrape out the peas (which are yummy, btw), and insert jelly beans
or any round candies. A simple activity but it is visually cute.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Jack-and-the-Beanstalk-Activities-818128"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Jack-and-the-Beanstalk-Activities-818128" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZQpzPRHztDc6NevjcDgZ3yYlAKt_LbwjmviuDmk99F3yH1vmQWKP9gw3w5-JV7kAEFhyzrwHwrz31CO4TEgw-XfxZau1om3EOPHQrVmeWw-qkaGftTOE8xXl-9Rpw7nFQnOJGEf7bPU/s320/jack-and-the-beanstalk-magic-beans.png" width="320" /></a></div>

Tip: buy large pea pods, much easier to work with.<br />

The Fisherman and His Wife Fishing Poles looked easy.<br />
NO! Epic Pinterest fail. The licorice ropes kept breaking.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Tip: cut string lengths to varying sizes ahead of time to avoid empty wait time doing this project. Varying string sizes make the finished projects look better for pics.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Another super quick and easy fairy tale treat is Cinderella pumpkins. Grab cuties or halos (which, btw, are mandarins not tangerines - who knew?!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cinderella-Activities-818113"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cinderella-Activities-818113" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUCePzq2tl9QZ83BJV4YyJgKbLDzn4FqIZwtgHTeSvEKbzpGsWlzhhYoP7uxebHaigYX_d-H4-03frdzn-ngYz6LTL2-uKJ5z5TxV57u9AlGMfowJLuNquvxW7VWlkh8y-wDmrU2gJRIs/s320/Cinderella-pumpkins-materials.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
and a bit of celery. Peel the cuties but don't separate. Then put a sprig of celery in the top to act as a stem. Whalah, a pumpkin!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cinderella-Activities-818113"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cinderella-Activities-818113" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGvdSma2_3SP_Lk5NA32BSWg4E2WvaY0wAPqpijFqNpfqDH2n2Vwa8-1c2dZCV8aChwd1RXFHQ5cE5QMHOh2aGB-YfOy2KOW70ZxJEn5ALzPJr8t2DWP4y-bxQjkDktFITb6kds55lY4M/s320/Cinderella-pumpkins.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tip: remind kids to not pull apart the cutie once peeling is complete. <br />
<br />
<br />
Need a more involved Cinderella treat? Make a Cinderella carriage. You'll need a round bun or boule, whole wheat bread slices, small and large round cookie cutters, toothpicks, vegetable dip mix, and cut up vegetables.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cinderella-Activities-818113"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cinderella-Activities-818113" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb9sZNdqYzH2BwiiOpdFZIbtk-WUk-X9aSK8nqczc8hv3LzR2CQnt1kitmT-O2Mw9geNmYGQC7s1SE1PCXKzXK57TLczLRkuwIK3ZaqMK0nzQ_r9QATw77XcZvd4ID-TkYHKZvn7uxGgc/s320/Cinderella-carriages-materials.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using fingers, make a well in the top of the boule (carriage).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cinderella-Activities-818113"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cinderella-Activities-818113" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvzShLFCPpahoJRl8kB9g9_H0Jbk2fS8gg23k0AhwUcNLaF-ESK93SMSSjcw0JX76ep-1YQhHe_vEANg8qy0JA1IKHy1BtmWrjDi6oV_YfgdbBVt0Kdkbm9Lh3sWisZ4AW4jVTZeBDbZE/s320/Cinderella-carriages-bread.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Save the bread for dipping later. Use the cookie cutters to cut four small and four large circles (carriage wheels). Then attach the wheels, smaller ones on the outside, to the bottom of the carriage. Prepare the dip as directed on the pkg and dip away with some yummy veggies<br />

Tip: make the dip ahead of time. It firms up in the frig which makes it easier to dip into the carriage well.<br />

I love the Pillsbury Doughboy. I just want to poke his little belly button, don't you? I mean, how many 53 -year-old men giggle when you poke their belly button?! 😆<br />

Thanks to ready-to-bake cookies, Alice in Wonderland Eat Me Cookies are a quick and simple treat.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
You'll need sugar cookies and decorating items such as sprinkles, gels and (my new friend) an edible marker.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Super easy, super fun, and super yummy!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Tip: kids should write on their cookie before decorating with the gels and sprinkles; bit easier to write on an undecorated cookie.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div>
<br />
<br />
While the oven's hot, bake another batch of cookies for Robin Hood Bulleyes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Robin-Hood-Activities-818139"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Robin-Hood-Activities-818139" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl8rwdWEM1K1Kr7Csi_kgGKjGJMqAkquSH8ccoaWZy9BOBzO8vt-YBeHC7z2UQ9eNiu7hPpUAtxymX9RoFOUTf5zlN82WjPVSewU4XadLuvr55b_ECMSiXBCPMwLKAaKJu60pkemypOJc/s320/robin-hood-food+Slide+3.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Prepare the cookies as directed. Then decorate the cookies as archery targets since Robin Hood was a skilled archer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's
another quick fairy tale treat thanks to Mr. Pillsbury . . . uh, Mr.

<br />

<br />
To make Gingerbread Man Cookies, use a rolling pin, flatten the cookie squares, use cookie cutters to cut shapes,<br />

Use a star shaped cookie cutter to cut a star from the melon. The melon star is then skewered onto the end of the wand to give the wand a magical touch.<br />

Tip: curly ribbon or streamers can be added to the end of the skewers to add to the wands.<br />

Rapunzel Braids are simple also. You can lengthen this activity by making homemade bread dough but hey, <strike>I'm lazy</strike> I need a quick fairy food activity, so I opt to use store-bought refrigerated dough.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rapunzel-Activities-818136"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rapunzel-Activities-818136" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp9_qxgZO9NwaBGf3ZMUU7jNVCiafEAJL5bXHfvXwFCLzyg2LjeKhcULucTRdM-mSoB4Q7MR5QRNINSyBbGSztHJGS4e5jbTduqXWyxOFnRFWu3c_f9PHUgWDgb_ogsXc4vrdvPQ6jKac/s320/rapunzel-food+-+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Cut dough strips evenly (okay, so my first cut stinks!).<br />

Braid the dough strips.<br />

And bake, as directed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rapunzel-Activities-818136"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rapunzel-Activities-818136" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif43mUCBtUgE3atobgYJZu243_rO3zJltozokqgTolqc2lYXRzy3cS1xV7NbbS1ttGHq5B-3SRZ_cZLrGV0dNFpj1fFgqx1Wj0KiAHsXgHEJfGvO-xxL2B0o-eDOhQl2gC1QgIBKPH0wI/s320/rapunzel-food+-+4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
[Get that math in there by having the kids stretch the dough strips to a certain length before braiding the strips.] <br /><br />
Tip: dough can be annoying to work with, and you don't want to be slowed down by having to deal with ornery dough. Have the dough strips already separated for the kids, especially if you are going to include measuring in the lesson.<br />

<br />
I'm not sure I would make a long-lasting committment to someone just because that person could feel a pea under 20 mattresses but hey, I choose not to judge.😄<br />
For The Princess and the Pea study, we made beds.<br />

A chance for us commoners to ooh and aah at the lovely dresses and the adorable flower girls and page boys. A chance to believe that fairy tales do come true.<br />
<br />
Most fairy tales involve castles and towers so for our Fairy Tales study, we made Fairy Tales Towers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fairy-Tales-1214315"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fairy-Tales-1214315" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYHjSZFml5bS3UW8MZDrNlZ1juq8QQzUqhwo5XNi4xLnhzKEfqphtMgUzN8AUYHbDxXTOwe7Mvu1cwZOOo63EQ9I8P97P1E9LgGYd9yy0XJ9x0WXhoGHkVEoK73K7In03i_hROtaILGxQ/s320/Fairy+Tales+action+pics+with+logo+-+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Quite simple activity.<br />
Fill the ice cream cone with cake (I used a rice krispie treat since I had extra),<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
decorate the sugar cone,<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
then assemble the sugar cone atop the ice cream cone.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fairy-Tales-1214315"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fairy-Tales-1214315" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIOr1tNfzXPwIhem2ea3PAe57f8WiTUzusEGeHWyZxPTTEKe41-YKBRrXtcQmX1WqI0VOIRTYsTNqtPYFSKmz4i1vt3XvpgfPWmUwaCR_rg7-mHKcbUvCZNiV7m2K2iiA9Xg4aPW_FbY/s320/Fairy+Tales+action+pics+with+logo+-+4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
TIP: have the kids paint their sugar cone whatever color they want. The different-colored towers are lovely when viewed together.<br />

It's ark-building time! We've had SO much rain this past week: roads collapsing, rivers flooding, mudslides, UGH! But, we did get a break from precip this morning, so I ran outside to snap a picture of my rose bush. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Beauty-and-the-Beast-Activities-818108"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Beauty-and-the-Beast-Activities-818108" border="0" data-original-height="1056" data-original-width="816" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju_bTtUNR1gfRpCSp744f09jm87SstJpGVfZnBTdzhXwOAmEK56H6VqRTPr5j0pnDSGz2lvrU3p5FNsgKwvFrw90BmpxGY2tTkHYOSwAxf0Icqd_GoM8O8gP2leUB3k31KVMqS9NO3oDE/s320/Beauty+and+the+Beast+action+pics+with+logo+-+1.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
A bush full of roses? I know what you're thinking – Beauty and the Beast.<br />
Whether you fancy the original animated version or the 2017 movie, Beauty and the Beast conveys such good life lessons.<br />
Top 3?<br />
1. Willingness to sacrifice yourself for another is true love.<br />
2. What is on the inside is what counts.<br />
3. Criticism should never belittle one's self-worth.<br />
<br />
So, back to roses . . .<br />
Beauty and the Beast Roses<br />
I do not do well with cake pops, so I enlisted the help of my eldest daughter for this project. She made the cake pops effortlessly; getting them to stand up in the cones, however, was another issue.<br />
Make your cake pops, swirl them in melted candy melts and sprinkle with pink/red candy dust to make them rose-like, then insert their sticks into the cones filled with cupcakes. And PLOP! they fall over. Too top heavy. So, the obvious tip is:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
TIP: Make sure you have a heavy-enough base cone in order for the cake pop rose to keep upright. Use a foam floral block covered with chocolate crumbs as long as the kids know not to eat that base.</div>

<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }</style>Springtime is a great time to study frogs, their life cycle, and how they are really princes under spells.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For The Frog Prince fairy tale, we made frogs.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2IUsAGPk4y7cQwD4MtGjrdHip2G-kDiRtPmR9SDwTpwpf3sj3FLApyuhSENLtW8o3Ta5ypLdUtdCJqrY7F8FD_pbHv6UvkqFN5TfVkeY8FAxmL8FJURyyVK6KhrUAyvGg1xu6A_PmFVs/s1600/The+Frog+Prince+action+pics+with+logo+-+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2IUsAGPk4y7cQwD4MtGjrdHip2G-kDiRtPmR9SDwTpwpf3sj3FLApyuhSENLtW8o3Ta5ypLdUtdCJqrY7F8FD_pbHv6UvkqFN5TfVkeY8FAxmL8FJURyyVK6KhrUAyvGg1xu6A_PmFVs/s320/The+Frog+Prince+action+pics+with+logo+-+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brush melted candy melts onto your nutter butter cookie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibIjMyHgaZeuFXiczZzp_hoXAIRnumgQsmsjQ-5o-O5AKgE-m3SlNSPKMh8rG80sw8FBvOiJnkWwGJo6eW5CT-ABRGb7nP3F4E-SqzzwISIj__RSMsivBspjfDIcLk_QYVFZeNo7wTioo/s1600/The+Frog+Prince+action+pics+with+logo+-+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibIjMyHgaZeuFXiczZzp_hoXAIRnumgQsmsjQ-5o-O5AKgE-m3SlNSPKMh8rG80sw8FBvOiJnkWwGJo6eW5CT-ABRGb7nP3F4E-SqzzwISIj__RSMsivBspjfDIcLk_QYVFZeNo7wTioo/s320/The+Frog+Prince+action+pics+with+logo+-+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then decorate the face with candy eyes and edible pen (or mini chocolate chips). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN_sEhIxcd29Rmt-qAVWYTzugeQncmQfS9Xq5AynxeKpUTz2Iz_BwnHzMRbPhc8oN3NJJXsylGmEhNOd9Csd447lQB1mIrfZfYA2XekmPKUo4zRN1WoVmZq3Bs9GJdgW3mPy_UINoNvTo/s1600/The+Frog+Prince+action+pics+with+logo+-+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN_sEhIxcd29Rmt-qAVWYTzugeQncmQfS9Xq5AynxeKpUTz2Iz_BwnHzMRbPhc8oN3NJJXsylGmEhNOd9Csd447lQB1mIrfZfYA2XekmPKUo4zRN1WoVmZq3Bs9GJdgW3mPy_UINoNvTo/s320/The+Frog+Prince+action+pics+with+logo+-+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Totally simple. <br />
<br />
Dare I say fool-proof? <br />
<br />
Tip: place candy eyes on nutter butter cookie while candy is still wet but wait to draw the mouth until the candy is dry.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Need quick, simple, kid-friendly snacks and treats to make and munch on while studying your Fairy Tales? <br />
<br />
We did, so I grabbed my old folder of ideas, pinned new ideas, bought ingredients/materials and had a trial run. <br />
<br />
Trial run? <br />
<br />
Yes, trial run. <br />
<br />
In case I needed to <strike>scream</strike> sigh with frustration I needed to be alone in my own kitchen. <br />
<br />
Some people are creatively handy enough to create Pinterest-y crafts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(Don't you hate those people?!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Me? Not so much. <br />
<br />
<br />
The next few posts are not so much step-by-step tutorials of a food blogger, but more a compilation of kid-friendly snacks to make and munch on while studying your favorite fairy tales. You will get the gist of the food idea along with some tips. </span><br />

PLUS, each fairy tale will include a <b>FREE</b> download of a food label card. (I also bundled these cards and have them for sale in my store.). <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fairy-Tales-Food-Recipe-Book-and-Label-Cards-3793364">Click here for that.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">*************************************************************** </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's springtime here – the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming. I like to picture Little Red Riding Hood strolling along and humming while picking flowers for her grandmother. In Red's basket of goodies she might have Cherry Tarts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These tarts were quite easy to make. Online, there are many recipes to make your own pie pastry - <u>Puhlease</u>. Who has time for that?? Go to the store and buy refrigerated pie crusts. While there, pick up some pie filling. We like cherry but any variety works. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
<br />
Roll out the dough, cut circles with a round cookie cutter, place circles into a cupcake pan, and fill with pie filling. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Tip:</b> Make sure your pastry circle is snug along the bottom and side of your cupcake pan cup.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course, we cannot forget the wolf. <br />
<br />
Make cupcakes. Once again, I went the lazy way and used boxed mix and ready-to-use frosting. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Little-Red-Riding-Hood-Activities-818130"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Little-Red-Riding-Hood-Activities-818130" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcfp5cZK6GWxZ0M0lwTQvzl7o9Uhgnr-e5mBvpxAnN2FpaEmHmzhAWQrcfIyyBUkBWtLBY3yKSwwoCrVmJE0o5BHNCBeYpH-JdVZMG4rcHUHdsLLcBH_hTU1hQTztP9DdsuM_kS4GYNqY/s320/Little+Red+Riding+Hood+action+pics+with+logo+-+06.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I do not have decorating essentials, no tips or bags. So, I used a storage baggie and snipped the corner. Actually, my daughter handled the decorating. With the baggie of icing, she made <strike>swooshes</strike> pulled up and away with the baggie tip on top of the cupcake leaving space for the wolf's mouth. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Little-Red-Riding-Hood-Activities-818130"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Little-Red-Riding-Hood-Activities-818130" border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1056" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoQ6_IOy11FlJ5xq2M78QS-tuky1JFa_qeUCooJX4X5Bw7i7gSHZJHfBNVihq0hHSFPDmIPQROEejQ3CkdB8tHC13Gj7W1KA8-DQNRBudl1eBfyf2A3Kp5MNpfsQC4xiNxtcTd-A3xB10/s320/Little+Red+Riding+Hood+action+pics+with+logo+-+09.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then she cut a piece of fruit roll-up to mash down into the cupcake and with a baggie of white frosting, made tiny dots for the wolf's teeth. M & Ms were used for the eyes and nose. Quite simple - with Emily doing the decorating, that is. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
<b>Tip:</b> Remind kids to not cover the entire cupcake with frosting, so they will have room to place the roll-up for the mouth. They may even want to pinch (and eat!) a bit of the cupcake to make an indentation for the mouth. <br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Need a fabulous resource for retelling Fairy Tales? I have two words for you - <u>Story</u> <u>Spoons</u>. Not sure you can make them yourself? Believe me, if I can do it, so can you! And it's fairly inexpensive, too. Win, win! Now, I am not calling this a tutorial; it is more like a cheer-on post. Seriously, if you are at all thinking of creating Story Spoons, Go For It – YOU CAN DO IT! </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><br /> Buy spoons, paint, paintbrush, and varnish/sealer. <br /><br />I looked at Dollar General for wooden spoons, but they had NONE, Zip, Zero, Nada. Who would have thunk it? So, I traveled on to Walmart. Bingo! Found a perfect set of 3 spoons and this rectangular spoon thingy. (I'm sure it has a culinary name.) Perfect set of spoons for making my The Three Billy Goats Gruff – 3 goats, 1 troll. And the price? $0.88. Can't beat that! ~ $0.22 per spoon/rectangular thingy. Sweet! <br /><br />I also bought paintbrushes, paint: 3 shades of brown for the three sizes of goats and a pukey green for the troll, and varnish/sealer. I went ahead a purchased the brand name. Unbelievable, I know, especially with how <strike>cheap</strike> frugal I am. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />I already had the other supplies needed: scissors, construction/colored paper, and Sharpies. <br /> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, here we go: grab a spoon and paint. Cover the handle, let dry on a piece of parchment paper and grab another spoon. Once the handles are dry to the touch (around 1 hour), paint the spoon part of the spoons. Let dry on parchment paper. </span></span></span><br />

Decorate the faces. I am in NO way an artist, so I kept things simple. I penciled in guidelines, too. I told you, I do not have an artistic bone in my body!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Have fun, be creative. If you mess up, grab the paint and start fresh again. No biggie. I used both paint and sharpies on my faces. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Once all paint is totally dry, cover spoons with the Mod Podge. Do not freak out like I did when the sealer goes on as a white paste – it dries clear. Whew! <br /><br /><br /> Okay, I am really hoping this doesn't happen to you, but when I came back to check on my drying sealer, I noticed the troll's teeth and the big Billy Goat's beard paint had run. Yikes!<br /> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Don't panic. Okay, well, panic a little then just let sealer dry totally and repaint the spoon around the facial features. Only you will be able to tell something went amiss. In fact, the troll looks better with uneven, blotchy skin. <br /> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">For the horns and ears, just cut out those shapes from colored construction paper or color white paper and glue onto the spoons. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Okay, I want to add a P.S. on this post.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">P.S. Yes, creating the Story Spoons is easy, BUT I am a very <strike>lazy</strike> busy person. So, . . .</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I added a Story Spoon Character Cutout page to each of my Fairy Tale Activity Units.

When I was a little
girl, my aunt, who worked at the bank in town, would bring coin bags
and coin wrappers home for me to help her roll coins. (Yep, that
shows my age!) I loved sorting and counting and wrapping those coins.
I still love playing around with money, and I think most kids do,
too.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I wanted to display my Money
Booklets here. Engaging, interactive booklets to use in math stations or as morning
work or in small group time.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
With these coin
booklets, students will identify, count, and state the value of a
specific coin while completing interactive activities.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Just print and go – NO PREP!</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
We learn each coin separately first, then combine coins later, so, here are
pics of my Penny Booklet:</div>

You can use this recording sheet for any make-words activity. I like to switch out letter eggs to practice weekly spelling words or as a sight word review.

Before school was
out a couple of months ago, I visited a K classroom in a school near mine. This classroom was terrific, and what do you think
this teacher had throughout her room? Clothespins! Lettered
clothespins, numbered clothespins; ahhh, it was fabulous!!</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

ready!!!</div>

I have 232 clip card products in my TpT store – no beating around the bush - I love Clip Cards and clothespins! And really, who is not addicted to the way clothespins open and close?<br />
Clothespins are inexpensive and versatile, too. Inexpensive? You can get a bag of 50 clothespins for $1. Versatile? Clothespins are crafty; you can make cutesy animals and gifts with pins, but wait, there are so many more ways to put clothespins to work in your classroom. Please, check out the following activities.</div>

Save a staple, use a clothespin. I remember being in fifth grade and my teacher handed back my paper with big holes at the top because of her stapling it to the bulletin board. Trust me, your students will thank you for not defiling their papers plus using clothespins is much faster and easier than stapling. Glue two flat thumb tacks to the back of the clothespins so they stick into the bulletin board. Totally easy!</div>

I am definitely a centers teacher. I employed centers with my primary
students and even during my stint teaching high school. While all
centers should be motivating and engaging, let's admit it, some center
activities are more fun than others. That is when a centers chart is
handy, to help choose and rotate centers. And a great way to keep up
with rotating centers? Clothespins, of course.

I actually squealed aloud when I first saw this idea on Pinterest: using
clothespins as bathroom passes. Ingenious! The passes will return - the
clothespins are clipped onto the students' clothing; hence, the passes
never get left in the bathroom; the passes will be germ free – the
clothespins are clipped onto the student before leaving the room then
unclipped upon returning to the classroom and untouched in between;
hence, germs are super reduced. </div>

Classroom jobs are a must as they are a great way to instill a sense of
responsibility in our students. And, you guessed it, clothespins are
once again the go-to tool to use when rotating student names on charts.

Many teachers use the traffic light behavior management system. Green,
yellow, and red circles with, of course, clothespins. I have used a
similar behavior management system; one that, for my students, was less
embarrassing for the yellows and reds and less stressful for the greens.<br />
We had individualized “charts” placed at the student's desk. This
“chart” was a craft stick colored in thirds green, yellow, and red and a
clothespin that can be moved to the appropriate color. (I never once
had a student change their chart.) Either chart monitoring system you
choose, there should be clothespins involved. </div>

Yes, clothespins can be used in math centers to show the correct answer
to a math problem but don't forget, clothespins can also be used with meatier math
center activities.
Clothespins can be used in ELA centers to show the correct part of
speech or the correct sight word. One of our favorite center activities
is clipping final blends. My special ed kids especially enjoy and
benefit from this activity.<br />

My students also love making clothespin words - Write letters on
clothespins and have students pin letters to make words. They can pin
onto hanging string (think clothes line) or even an index card. And this
activity can be differentiated by allowing the students needing extra
help to clip the matching lettered clothespin to the letter in the word.

So, let's review:
Clothespins have so many classroom uses. Clothespins are such an
inexpensive resource. And do not even get me started on how clothespins
are a perfectly fun way to improve fine motor skills.

more than just clip cards. But if clip cards are what you are looking

Old cartoons. Who
doesn't love sitting down with the family or friends and watching
great, old cartoons. Here are our top 3 favorite old animated cartoons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The groovy colors and vocabulary, the hip songs, and the scary villains - you gotta' love Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
(pre-scrappy episodes, of course) Our
family loves to find the animation mistakes. Velma talking in
Daphne's voice, Shaggy with blonde hair, villains' legs missing. We
LOVE Scooby-Doo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
A close second is
Bugs Bunny.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
One question for you
– from where does Bugs pull those items? He must have really deep
pockets. Our family loves Bugs. He is so suave, isn't he?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Teaching-Tykes"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Teaching-Tykes" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFo9UpePogVuPJdg_iT7tw_9Nb62IsxfYXMlj_bt1SZCcI2D9T0frlPHqkikz7b30NKQB2IfKPF9c8O_f-M_ZcWHW6QDbVDLOZde8xT8PQd0TbvYMvzaxabAnH42nOSiqq-T348UC_pTo/s1600/Spongebob.jpeg" /></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
I know Spongebob is
not old exactly, but it is still a classic. The creative characters, the
townspeople rioting, the songs - everything comes together to form a fun cartoon that appeals to both young and old alike.<br />

<br />
Listening:<br />
We had a cold snap last week, so it is super nice sitting here with the window open listening to lawn mowers, children playing, and the breeze gently blowing. Springtime in NC is truly lovely!<br />
<br />
Loving:<br />
We have one daughter entering grad school, one daughter graduating from college, and one daughter graduating high school. So many excellent opportunities are opening up for them and for our son still at home. I am so thankful to have truly terrific children!<br />
<br />
Thinking:<br />
My trunk is full of clothes and items that we no longer need or use. It is a simple process to drop them off at the Outreach in town. I just need to DO it.<br />
<br />
Wanting:<br />
So, I am trying to eat well and exercise more. It is such a struggle for me. I am SO hungry and to be honest a bit grumpy. Should be better soon. I hope.<br />
<br />
Needing:<br />
I use to have such strong willpower. I need more now though. I cannot fall back to eating junk and being lethargic. I shall overcome!<br />
<br />
Summer:<br />
I have soooo many unfinished TpT projects, so finishing those projects are my yes, hope, AND dream! <br />

<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }</style>
<br />
You may remember our cat, Ethel, after her harrowing experience, had become an indoor cat. <a href="http://teachingtykesblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/ethel-indoor-cat.html">(Read Ethel the Indoor Cat here.)</a> But over the months, she became rather brave – not dashing under the bed with every bark, exploring more of the house besides just “her room”, lingering in the living room even when the dogs were visual at the sliding glass doors. It didn't take long to train Clooney to not bark and go crazy when he saw Ethel in the house. And Maggie has always been fine with Ethel (during the day). <br /><br />As the weather became more pleasant, we would leave the glass doors open and, with training and time, all of the pets were okay with the sights and sounds of each other. The next step Ethel took by herself. We have a tear in one screen (thanks, Clooney) that we have not repaired yet. One day, I could not find Ethel anywhere and, low and behold, she was sitting on our back porch! We still had a lot of training to do with the barking at night but to make a LOONG story short, Ethel is now an outdoor cat. All is well with the Booze pets . . for now!<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

I have ordered testing for my kids fifteen years now. I would think I would know exactly when and what to do. But every year there is a slight change, so I always like to preview things before I actually order our tests in March.<br />

This week is pretty uneventful which is a good thing from looking at the forecast. Snow midweek possibly. Well, we have had an easy winter here, so I cannot complain. Plus, Spring is almost here; I CAN make it!<br />

Recently on the TpT forum, I posted about my cat's near-death experience. Thought maybe I should give an update on Ethel along with her two dog co-conspirators, Maggie and Clooney. <br /><br />Yes, I said co-conspirators. Ethel has always wanted to be an indoor cat. But wait; let's back up. <br /><br /><br />

It was a week before Thanksgiving and Maggie, our Jack Russell Terrier who no longer sees very well, began terrorizing Ethel at night. These two have lived together (outdoors) for 5 years and have always gotten along. We marked it down to our living in the woods and Maggie's eyesight getting Ethel confused with a woods creature (fox, coyote, etc). We left it up to Ethel to arrive on the porch before dark or else sleep on our barn porch. This was working until... <br /><br /><br />

Thanksgiving, our second eldest brought her dog for us to keep. This dog has major issues, one being he hates cats. Long story short - Clooney and Maggie both begin barking at Ethel. Ethel disappears. We search and search. We assume the creatures or the cold got her. [She had a good life with us (we rescued her from a farmer's gun).] We went on with our life. <br /><br /><br />

The Friday before Christmas, our neighbor texted she glimpsed Ethel entering a drainpipe near our house. LONG story short, I carried Ethel to our house to (I thought) die. She was pitiful. My husband said he thought Ethel was hours away from death. <br /><br />Fast forward one month, Ethel is a healthy indoor cat. She does freak out when the dogs bark and spends most of her time underneath my bed, but she is physically healthy. <br />

<br /><br />A seller from the forum said I ought to write a book on bullying. I think I should write a book about a cat and two dogs conspiring to make an outdoor cat an indoor cat.<br />
