Mud Pie Kitchen

I have seen a lot of FUN mud pie kitchens on Pinterest and thought we would try our hand at one! My daughter had a blast playing in the mud and ended up creating our own Mud Pie Restaurant. My favorite entrees: chicken noodle mud soup and dirt covered strawberries. This is an EASY summer activity that will provide lots of fun, imaginative play for your little ones!

Materials:
Dishes We used play dishes, because we have a lot of them that unfortunately don't get used inside. But they are getting plenty of use outside!
Mud
Bucket of Water
Aprons not shown in this picture, but we used them on other occasions and they helped keep my daughter's clothes nice and clean! And it added to the whole kitchen thing :)

Hope you all are having a fun summer! Happy Teaching!

Missing From the Blogosphere

As some of you may have noticed, it's been about a month since my last blog post. Why, you might ask? Amid the pile of excuses (and yes laziness is one of them) is this:

That's not a gray tan covering my foot but one ginormous and very, very painful bruise.

Last week my foot got slammed in a heavy industrial metal door. And it hurt BAD. Luckily there are no serious fractures, but it has caused me to lay around with my foot elevated and my blahness escalated. But I have a list of amazing and inspirational blog posts that will be coming your way soon. I hope. :)

Happy Teaching! (and happy healing for me!)
