Blast off to Summer - D

We are slowly working through our countdown to summer. We are now on the letter D. D is for....

Dinosaurs, Doughnuts and Dinner

Dinosaur Babies by Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld





We read all the books about dinosaurs that I hadn't packed yet. Kaleb loved the Touch and Feel book.


I buried dinosaurs in the sand box and had the kids dig them out using small tools like they were paleontologists. They loved this activity - sorry no pics.


Then we made a home made version of Funfetti cupcake doughnuts. These turned out really well and were super easy to make. The recipe can be found HERE.


J filled the doughnut pan - I totally love this pan. I only wish I had 2 pans because most recipes make a dozen doughnuts.


J iced them and added more sprinkles.


She also helped to make dinner. Not too bad for letter D, onto letter E. We are counting down the days until summer...join us.
