The Mitten

During our unit on "The Mitten," I was looking for some type of cooking activity that I could do with my class. I looked on Pinterest and a lot of different websites, but never could find anything that I felt my children could make. I finally came up with an idea and it worked great.

The idea in "The Mitten" is that all of the animals climb into a white mitten. I needed to find something white and the also had animals.  Here is what I came up with:

I purchased vanilla ice cream cups and some animal cracker cookies (I know the animals are different but it was the idea that counted). The children put their animals into the vanilla ice cream, as many as they could fit. And then they ate them! It was a great activity and the children loved it!
