Flannelboard:
Five little cupcakes in a bakery shop,
Round and fat with frosting on top.
Along came ________ (child's name) with a quarter one day.
And bought a cupcake and ran away.
Four little cupcakes...
Three little cupcakes...
Two little cupcakes...
One little cupcake...
Craft:
Frost the Cake!
For these, I used a paint recipe I've used a few times before--shaving cream and glue! This time I added some food coloring to make it look like frosting. The kids had a great time painting, and I love the easy clean-up.
