Cooking Piggy Pancakes with Kids
I love cooking with kids and this book begs for you to make piggy pancakes. We love starting our mornings with Homegrown Friends’ recipe for Homemade Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes. Toppings (blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips and almonds) were set out for the kids to decorate their own pancake. While they were eating, I read the kids the story again.

The pig in the story builds a treehouse. We opted for a reading fort and enjoyed some more of Laura Numeroff’s books.
A few of our other favorites from Numeroff are: If You Take a Mouse to the Movies
Have fun acting like pig in the story.

Jodie thank you so much for hosting the Virtual Book Club for Kids the month featuring Laura Numeroff. I adore the pancake flipping activity and need to get one started for my littlest one who’s learning her letters and sounds.

What a cute little book and I love how you have reenacted the book through the day. This is something I must remember for when my son is older and more engaged in books.
