Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Week - Snacks, Crafts, Activities, Sensory Play, and Spelling Fun!

In an effort to bring some excitement back into eating for us we are having themed snack times! Each week we've chosen different books (pretty much little kid books to involve the younger kids more and keep them engaged) and the older girls planned snacks and activities to go with each book.

  

Our first theme week was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, not just because it is one of Dean's favorites (mine too!!), but because it was the book for my Advisory meeting this month and I was in charge of decorations. So 2 birds, one stone...

Throughout the week we ate:

-Alphabet shaped fries/tots

-Bourbon CHICKen nuggets

-Boom Chicka Pop brand popcorn

-Dried coconut (we get big bags at Costco because this stuff is FABULOUS)

-Alphabet shortbread cookies

-Scrabble Cheez-Its (letters on them)

-Fuze flavored water in banana pina colada 

-Fudge dipped coconut Oreos

-Coconut wafer cookies

-Target brand fruit snacks with the alphabet letters on them

-Coconut milk sorbet served in coconut shells (Costco find, these are soooo good)

-Homemade Alphabetties (think: Spaghettios)

-Apple slices with caramel and peanut butter (Chicka Chicka 123 has apple trees)

-Post Alpha-bits cereal, alone or on a peanut butter slathered celery stick
