The kids at a recent Carpenter’s Shelter Read-Aloud could not contain their exuberance when they found out they were going to make their own pizzas and get to eat them!
The kids were set up with English muffins, pizza sauce and toppings (including lots of cheese!). They assembled their own personal pizzas with a little help from volunteers. There is nothing better than a delicious snack made just the way you like it!
Recipe:English muffins (split)
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Put the pizzas in a toaster oven set to broil. Have someone keep an eye on them so the cheese doesn't burn!
While the pizzas were toasting, volunteers read the following books about pizza:
The Little Red Hen by Philemon Sturges
The Princess and the Pizza by Mary Jane
Dragon Pizzeria by Mary Morgan
The kids at Carpenter's especially loved Dragon Pizzeria. They loved it when all the adult readers got involved with voices for all the charaters. When the adults are into the story, the kids will get in to it too!
While you're sitting with the kids eating pizza, start a conversation about the books or even just about food. Ask the kids to name their favorite kind of pizza, and then ask what they'd like to put on it next time. You'll all have a great time -- it's not hard to keep a roomful of kids excited about pizza!
Here's to a creative and delicious Read-Aloud idea!
