Toddler Pizza


We read "Pete's A Pizza" by William Steig and then made pizzas. The pizzas are round pieces of paper (or a paper plate), painted with red paint tomato sauce, with lots of toppings. There were little yellow rectangles to represent the cheese, red circles for pepperoni or tomatos, little black olives, mushrooms cut out of a crinkly paper bag etc. If your child can cut encourage her to make other toppings. Then i had a shaker with green sand (sand with green paint in it) and they could shake on their spices at the very end. Then you bake the pizza in a sunny window! The book is about a dad who turns his son into a pizza by covering him with checkers, shredded paper, talcolm powder. etc. After they make the pizzas you can turn them into pizza or have them turn you into a pizza.
