Muffin Tin Monday: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Maggie and I did several activities this week revolving around the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, so it was easy to decide on a theme for our muffin tin meal this week. The peanut butter mice were based on these peanut butter bees – except that I didn't have any of the right ingredients (of course).  I made the mice from peanut butter and graham cracker crumbs, with chocolate chips eyes and noses, almond ears, and apple slices for tails.  They were a little crumbly, but when Maggie saw them she said, “wow!” I also made pretend cookies with graham crackers.  I used a circle cutter, and stuck on some chocolate chips with peanut butter. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Muffin Tin Meal

• water (Mouse drinks milk, but I know that would have gone to waste)
• “cookies”
• cheese cubes and a mouse pick
• peanut butter mice
• corn (a la Cinderella)

Maggie ate every single bite of this muffin tin meal, with only a little encouragement to eat the cheese.
