Match the Shapes

             Last week we made trail mix using different shaped cereal.

The idea came from Food Flair, a resource created by nutritionists and contains information about nutrition, healthy eating and food-related topics, along with recipes and fun activities to do with children, and ideas and information sheets to share with families.

I picked the Trail Mix recipe and created a matching game to go with it.

We measured and poured each of the cereal; cheerios, chex and puffed rice
talking about each shape as we added them to the bowl.

     We added raisins and dried cranberries then stirred it altogether.
