Next, was breakfast. Sweet Girl shared with me the night before Groundhog Day that we could put something green on top of the breakfast yogurt and "hide a groundhog" in it. What a fun idea! So, that's exactly what we did.
The girls were very interested in watching me put the headbands together. They looked so cute in them! I even made one and wore it--and why not? It's all part of the fun!
The headbands turned out great! I just love them!
Before lunch, we headed to the library. It was "Take Your Child to the Library" Day, too! It was snowing just as we were going out the door. There weren't a lot of people there and we had a whole table to ourselves. I let the girls check out a couple of extra books since it was a special day.
We also signed up for the library's annual "Snuggle Club" for children ages 0-6 years old which I will be sharing more about later.
I thought it would be fun to have "Phil" pop up (pun intended!) at our different meals, so I hid a teddy graham on the girls' plates for them to find at lunch. Sweet Girl kept hiding her groundhog in different places as she ate her lunch.
The girls took turns mixing the pudding. I used instant pudding and as you can tell, I had to use vanilla. I thought I had chocolate pudding and bought vanilla for another project. I ended up having four boxes of vanilla pudding in the cabinet. Hey, it could've been a snow covered ground, right? :)
Each girl got a Ziploc bag with either graham crackers or Oreos to pound into crumbs. They had fun with this part. We also dyed coconut by putting some in a container with a few drops of green food coloring. I thought this would be easier for the girls to shake than a Ziploc bag as stated in the recipe post.
You'll notice I don't have a picture of Love Bug's dessert because she dug in before I could get a one! Can you find the groundhog hiding in Sweet Girl's dessert? Hint: He's close to the grass.
I hope you enjoyed the week's activities. What things did you try out?
