Fun Food and Games Friday — Pond Life

This week, I have a  food and a game that I have used several times in the past.

Fun Food- Pond Snack

Take a bagel, cut it in half. You can toast it or leave it as is if desired. For this you can also use an english muffin or a rice cake. In a bowl, mix cream cheese and blue food coloring to make the water for the pond. Spread this on the bagel. Using a cucumber, cut slices and then in each slice, cut out a wedge. Put a few on each bagel’s water to be lily pads. Use gummy frogs as the finishing touch on the lily pad or in the water.

Game- Frog Tongues

Print out Bug Bingo and make a few copies. Cut out the bugs and put velcro on the back of each. Buy a pack of party blowers and let each child choose one, writing their name on it. Carefully unroll the paper roll and apply the other part of the velcro to it. Lay the bugs on the table, velcro side up. Allow the children, in small groups to see how many bugs they can catch with their sticky, long  frog  tongues!
