Hey, Pancakes! - Picture Books

We're on a pancake roll!

Hey, Pancakes! is a funny tale of children who make pancakes. Wait, maybe it is a scary book! They do make quite a mess. Oh, boy. Do they. I'm not sure where the adults are in this fantastically illustrated book, but there is plenty of entertainment with the children and the dog. And pancakes.

Hey, Pancakes! includes a recipe for Grandma's Pancakes. Maybe you can make your recipe and grandma's for a taste test.

KID KANDY:

Making Pancakes Make-Believe Fun

~ Add cooking pots, pans, pancake turner, bowl, whisk, measuring tools, aprons, plates, and forks to the play kitchen area.

~ If you don't have a toy kitchen, use markers to transform a box into a stove.

~ Cut circle pancakes from tan felt.

~ Cut small squares of yellow felt for pats of butter.

~ Cut odd, squiggly shapes from brown felt for syrup.

~ Recycle an old syrup bottle or squeeze bottle. Fill with brown yarn pieces or scrap paper to resemble syrup. Glue closed!

~ Make pancakes!


KID KANDY is an activity feature that resembles a healthy meal. FIRST you read the book (eat the dinner). THEN you get dessert (a fun activity after the meal). I'd love to know about your KID KANDY activity adventure.
