Monster Doughnuts #pinterest

image

I got this idea from Pinterest and I knew I wanted to let my grandchildren have some fun while I babysat. This is a very easy DIY fun Halloween project. All you need is some doughnuts, any candy eyes and plastic vampire teeth.

Then let everyone make their own Monster Doughnut – so much fun. Gently press in vampire teeth and add as many eyes as you like.

See You Later Alligator

image

What a delightful book  SEE YOU LATER, ALLIGATOR! by Sally Hopgood and Emma Levey is!! A departing tortoise has his bags packed and is almost ready to set out on an adventure, but he can’t leave until he says good-bye to each of his animal friends. This sweet and colorful book is a silly story with bright, engaging illustrations and expressive, rhyming text that children will want to read—and giggle through—again and again.

image

This little guy loves this silly story and the bright pages filled with all the  lovable characters, he calls friends. I love reading this story with him over and over again.
