Bear Hugs & Love Mix

Marin got to do her first "cooking activity" this morning. I have found so many cute little things on Pinterest for us to do. Although we have some time before Valentine's Day, baby sister can come any time now (if she wants....) so we are starting now just to make sure we have time to do some of them.

But I found the Love Mix idea using Cheerios, marshmallows, and Valentine M&Ms and thought it would be fun for Marin to scoop and stir. :o) We used Teddy Grahams instead of Cheerios for "bear hugs" (another stolen Pinterest idea).

We started out in the high chair but then moved to sitting on the table.
Here she is practicing.....

First goes the marshmallows.....

Then the Bear Hugs and a little stir, stir, stir....

She needed to do a little sampling....

And more sampling....

And more sampling.....

And now the M&Ms, so stir, stir, stir....

Almost done!
Stir, Marin, stir! 

Bear Hugs & Love Mix complete!
She even got to eat it in a heart shaped foil tin. :o) 

The funniest part about her snack was that she was completely ignoring the M&Ms.
I guess the color was throwing her off but she only ate the Teddy Grahams & marshmallows.
So I gave her a little taste of my M&M and from that moment on, she dug through her container
to find and eat ONLY the M&Ms. Made me laugh.

And we are going to read/watch Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton on the Barnes and Noble website. ( I love this website. Its children's books read by the author.) But there is such a cute song that goes with this book.  She has a favorite puppy dog stuffed animal (Pinky) that we can sing and read it too! :o)
