Use blue food coloring to color a can of frosting blue like water. Snack- Make box cupcakes together, a great activity for math skills, fine motor, following directions, as well as a fun time with mom. You could also provide them with a small cup of peanut butter, show them how to dip the tip of pretzel sticks in peanut butter and use it to “catch” the goldfish out of their trail mix. Snack- One fish, two fish trail mix- Set out bowls of rainbow goldfish, popcorn, pretzels, mm’s, dried fruit and anything else you think they will like and let them mix up their own special, silly trail mix for snacking on. This is one of my kids favorite activities and we get so much use out of the foam fish to for other activities. Let them free play or call out colors and have them fish for that color, see how many they can pick up on one “cast”, have a contest to see who can get the most. Tie a string onto a pencil or other stick- leaving it between 12-18” long, hot glue a magnet onto the end of the string. Pour water and expanding water beads into a large rubbermaid tub. Sensory Bin- Cut out fish from craft foam (you can also pick up a multi- pack of foam at Dollar Tree) and attach a metal paper clip to the mouth area. “From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!” Bright colors and fun rhyming words make this story a hit with children and it lends itself well to colorful activities as well. I have pulled together some snack ideas, fun activities and art projects, and a sensory bin for you to enjoy with the story in honor of Dr. Seuss’ classic books- One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.
