Welcome to Pizza Day!

The children arrived to find this waiting for them this morning.

Papa's Pizza Parlor felt pizzas

This prop box is extremely affordable and easy to put together.  I went to Pizza Hut and asked for four empty pizza boxes they were all too happy to donate.  

Felt squares cut into cheese, peppers, olives, pepperoni, and pineapples.  I cut four felt circles for crusts and four maroon felt "sauces"  

I found these pans at the Dollar General store for a dollar each along with lidded plastic containers to hold all the pizza toppings.

I printed out red checked boarder in different sized rectangles to use for menus, order pads, labels, and the papa's pizza bucks.  

I bought four hats and four child-sized smocks at Hobby Lobby and with red puff paint, painted a checked boarder on each along with the words Papa's Pizza and there you have it, tons of Pp learning fun.

The children spent the morning making and delivering pizzas.  

After making all those felt pizzas, it was time to make the real deal.

They had so much fun.  I had planned to have the kids form a P with the pepperoni, but they had other plans so I went with it. Had the pepperonis been normal sized and not the minis I think it would have held their attention better.

We popped our pizzas in the oven then went outside to play, coming back in to this

Pizza, salad, cantaloupe, and milk.  

After nap we enjoyed pizza rolls for snack then practiced writing our names and our Pp's with this worksheet.

I had them practice their Pp's on the bottom line.

I asked each child which was their favorite pizza topping then we made these...

Then we made these pizza books.

Happy Thursday
