Preschool Lunch Idea-Mini Pizza’s

A yummy quick lunch that is sure to please everyone’s tummy is mini pizzas.
English Muffins (pre-sliced) Whole Wheat preferred if available.

Store Bought Tomato Sauce for Pizza

Pepperoni

Mozzarella Cheese (already grated)

Spoon

Baking Sheet

Popsicle Sticks

Ready to Serve Cut up Veggies (carrots, celery, and cucumber-all three, or just one or two kinds.)

Ranch Dressing

This is a lunch that everyone can help prepare. It is fun to make, quick to cook, and everyone can enjoy it.

Split the English muffins in half. Give each child two halves (one whole English muffin). Go around and put one spoonful of sauce on each English muffin half for each child. Allow the children to spread the sauce with the popsicle sticks provided.

Give each child 5-6 pieces of pepperoni and allow them to arrange them however they like on top of the sauce.

Next, give each child a handful of cheese that they can sprinkle on each English muffin halve.

Put the English muffins on a baking sheet and place them in a preheated 350ºF oven until the cheese is melted and just starting to turn golden.

While the pizzas are cooking you can sing some of the preschool children’s favorite songs and read a book or two, being aware of how the pizzas are doing at all times though.

When they are ready, with oven mitts, take out the pizzas and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes. Then place the pizzas on plates for the children with some ready to eat cut up veggies and ranch dressing for dipping.

This great preschool lunch idea is great served with milk or juice.

Enjoy!

Preschool Reading - How To Choose Great Books For Your Preschooler

Preschool Reading - How To Choose Great Books For Your Preschooler

Good books are the foundation of every preschool reading program. As a parent, you should not only be concerned with how often you read to your children, but also with the quality of the books you are reading. With so many books flooding the preschool market, it can be difficult to decide which books to use. Here are 3 tips for choosing great books for your preschooler:

1. Choose books with vivid illustrations. Look for books that contain beautiful drawings and illustrations that will help your children stay focused and engaged in the story. Non fiction books that contain diagrams and photographs can greatly enhance your child's understanding of science topics.

2. Choose books that are interactive. Look for books that encourage your child to participate in the story. Books that ask your child to find hidden objects will help your child gain visual discrimination skills that are essential for preschool reading. Books that ask your child questions about the story help build reasoning and critical thinking skills. Lift the flap books and touchy feely books are great resources for hands on learners.

3. Choose books with classic storylines. Look for books that retell classic stories, fairytales and nursery rhymes. These books are not only morally sound and entertaining, they enhance cultural literacy. In addition to classic stories, look for books that relate to your child's interests. Books with entertaining characters like princesses, pirates and cowboys are always a hit with preschoolers.

You can find book suggestions for your preschooler by speaking with your librarian or by looking at the book lists of popular preschool curriculum providers like Sonlight, Five in a Row and Winter Promise.
