It's about time I got another MTM meal for my children - my oldest has just begun Grade One and he was/is very enthusiastic about this special meal but my youngest two enjoyed it thoroughly today too! Today's theme was
APPLES! I just love this time of year!
I've got an apple tree in my backyard that is beckoning me to come and pick its fruit!

I went into my file of different themes I have from my ECE days and came up with a little "circle" time with these felt board variations:
"Four Red Apples"

"10 Red Apples" fingerplay

and "
Apple Trouble" by Ragnhild Scamell which we have on CD (love books on CD!)

And here's our muffin tin:
apple slices with a caramel to dip in (last week I made a caramel sauce but didn't have time for that today);
apple-shaped toast which my children sprinkled on cinnamon/sugar mixture;
applesauce with cinnamon sprinkled on top;
apple-shaped cheese and
farmyard crackers - the apple cookie cutter can easily be used for pumpkin shapes too!
My Daughter is using her "picture" (play camera) to take a picture of the meal like I did!
Sprinkling on the cinnamon and sugar - tasty!
dipping into the Dulce de leche
Delicious!
For more creative MTM's you have to take a moment to visit Her Cup Overfloweth for other participants!
Have a blessed week!
