St. Patrick's Day Alphabet



For fruit option you will need:                  For vegetable option you will need:
a can of fruit cocktail or                               celery, blueberries
5 blueberries                                                 orange, yellow and red sweet peppers
pineapple, grapes, peaches or oranges         popcorn
strawberries, or cherries
popcorn

Directions:
An adult should do the chopping/slicing
1. make the cloud with popcorn
2. add each row of fruit or vegetables
3. Eat with your fingers or use a dip of your choice

This is a good activity to work on colors.  It's also good for getting your children to sample new foods because they are tiny portions.  Fresh fruit is a better option but I was stuck indoors during a snow storm and used what I could find in the cupboard.  Any book will go with this snack and there should be a wide variety to choose from at stores you frequent.
