green eggs and ham

Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Suess is one of our favorite books in this house. The kids love it. We have read it so often that they can recite the words on almost every page.




So I decided to make a fun breakfast for us......green eggs and ham!

Materials:
-the book Green Eggs and Ham
-eggs
-ham
-green food coloring

I just dropped a couple of drops of food coloring in the eggs as I scrambled them and put a few on the ham as I warmed it up.



While the kids ate, I read the story to them. It was a hit!!!

workbooks

I certainly don't think workbooks should take the place of a parent or teacher for learning but often they can be a fun way to reinforce concepts. My son (who is 2 1/2) loves "playing school" on occasion and working with the pre-printed activities.

I found these wonderful books yesterday at Walgreens. They say ages 4-6 but I think much younger kids could use them with adult assistance. I'm going to try the shapes and colors book with my 1 1/2 year old today. The best part about the books.....they were $2.99 each. There are several different kinds for different ages.....worth a try!
