This week, we are going to be doing a pirate unit.  I think I am even more excited than the kids are because there are so many really fun activities I’ve found to do!  To kick off the week, I made a special pirate themed muffin tin lunch and set up a pirate sensory bin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the trays: cantaloupe pirate ship, ring pop, sweet potato swords with pirate toothpick, Babybel cheese cut with the red part cut to look like a bandana and face drawn with edible markers, teriyaki salmon, gold coins (chocolate) set in a pirate muffin tin liner and a gummy crocodile for Miss O. because she is allergic to the coins.
The sensory bin included a pirate toob, a compass, eye patch, doubloons, and two little pirate puzzles.  I also set a pirate hat beside the bin in case the kids wanted to get into character while playing.

    Wonderful! I love the muffin tins and sensory bucket. We did pirates a few years ago. It was fun.
    Blessings, Dawn

    I adore this! I really like the way you had a theme for the week. I’ll have to try to pull something like this off!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Love the pirate theme! My daughter loves pretending to play pirates and I’m sure she’d love this lunch! I’ve never actually tried Babybel cheese but I’m thinking I might. Very cute!
