We read the book, practiced counting and matching our letters, we made muffins and then ate them, we were going to also make puppets like they do in the story but we ran out of time. We ended up painting as our daily art instead.

If You Give a Moose a Muffin
I have been inspired lately to get more creative with the kids in our daily activities. I owe most of this to pinterest, an online idea pin board. For this particular day we used the book If You Give a Moose a Muffin as our theme. The kids thought is was so fun and still are reciting parts of the book.
We read the book, practiced counting and matching our letters, we made muffins and then ate them, we were going to also make puppets like they do in the story but we ran out of time. We ended up painting as our daily art instead.
I think the kids love themes as much as I do. It gives them something to wrap their little minds around and relate things back to. An added bonus is that it never hurts to incorporate books, into your day. Through creating activities that come from the book or relate to the story the kids understand whats happening in the story better.
