School is canceled and it's dangerously cold outside. Everyone has cabin fever, and you've run out of ideas to keep the kids busy. What to do? After seeing the idea here and and in the Dec./Jan. issue of this book, we decided to make our own Hot Chocolate Shop! So many areas of learning going on. Incorporate art by making a sign. Reading and writing practice came into play here, too. Math was used by making some play money and counting change. There was also dramatic play by our cashier, hot chocolate maker, and of course, customers. They had so much fun! This would also be a great center for the preschoolers, or theme of the week.
In the sidebar are some books I found that would be great to read together while sipping your hot chocolate.
