Be Back To School Ready!

-
It is hard to believe that summer is almost to a close. That means it's time to start prepping for back to school! This will be my first school year and I want to share some of our play ideas to prepare for a classroom setting and also some fun snacks for lunches on that first day. 

We started sorting these pom poms out by color. Using a plate with sections or bowls, it is a great way to introduce sorting, and also a great way to teach colors. My son enjoyed this activity and it's a great way to prep for school. 

 Sit down time has been valuable. When you introduce these activities, it's helpful to put toys away and sit at the table free of distractions. This has made for hours of play in our home. 

Check back soon for some fun ideas for lunches and more simple and fun games!!

If you have tried the Taco Bell Crunchwraps in the morning, you already know what inspired this. If you haven't. go to Taco Bell first, then try these. They aren't Taco Bell, but they are pretty good. These are semi-homemade. I used simply potatoes hash browns. For those of you who have time to make them fresh, I'm sure they would be even better. Ingredients. 1 sausage patty/or 2 slices of bacon 1 egg - scrambled 1 serving of simply potatoes hash browns (or make your own) cheddar cheese queso+salsa dip Brown the sausage and potatoes first (they take the longest) make your scrambled egg Get a tortilla (I use the burrito size ones for mine) Then assemble. I put the hash browns first, then sauce so the sausage stays, then sausage, egg and top with shredded cheese.  Fold and brown each side ENJOY!!  Do you like this recipe? Share it!
