This year a fun, new activity we did for school was to make step books. I like them, they are quick and easy and the girls, ages 7, 6, and 4 seem to love making them.

I found this book at our local library and it was a great introduction to teaching our children about their place in the world.  So we decided to make a step book out of the story.

Here is how ours began, take some construction paper and staple together to make a step book.

You can use stickers, or foam pieces to jazz up the pages.  We did end up adding foil stars to the world picture but in the end the 2 year old tore them off and onto my wood floors they went???!!!!?!?

Mexican grill cheese

This is a super fast, healthy lunch that we make quite frequently around here.  You can add a variety of different fillings like chicken, leftover roast, beef, anything you may have on hand.  We make it plain and simple.

You will need the following:

  • refried beans
  • cheese
  • whole wheat tortillas

Spread refried beans onto a tortilla and top with cheese.  Place another tortilla to make a sandwich.
