I read them the cutest book called Hi! Pizza Man.  Then we sorted different pizza toppings.

After that, we played a game.  The children had to throw pepperoni’s (red poker chips) into a triangle shaped box.  The kids pretended to work in a pizza shop and take orders and make pizzas.  They loved it!

They also made their own personal pan pizza.  I had to practically beg the owner to give me 10 boxes for my class.  Mr. “Don’t Tell My Boss I Gave You These” wasn’t too happy with me…but I got them. The kids created pizzas with crust, tomato sauce, shredded cheese, pepperoni, and green peppers.   They turned out so cute!

  • Dip your child’s thumb in brown paint to make the acorn.  The side of the thumb to make the top of it.
  • Paint their hand in red to make the apple. Have them make a fist and then using the side of each fist stamp the paper twice.
  • Have them make a fist again and this time paint the front of the fist (with the knuckles) to make the pumpkin.
  • Finally, paint their entire hand yellow to make the leaf.

After the paint drys you can go back through and do some touch ups.
