What’s in the Witch’s Kitchen? – a Fun Menu activity to go along with Nick Sharratt’s book

This month the Virtual Book Club for Kids is featuring Nick Sharratt!  Once again I collected all the books I could by him at our library … and a couple that we had around the house.  Here are some of that we found:

But there was one book that my daughter (age 4) wanted to read again and again … What’s in the Witch’s Kitchen?  It’s a silly, clever book with flaps on each page that lift in 2 directions.  If you open it one way you get a text and a illustration of something that would normally be found in a kitchen (like “Biscuits and Cakes”), BUT if you open it the other direction you find something silly and gross (like “Spiders and Snakes”).  Reading the story together produced lots of giggles … and also a discussion on letter sounds and rhyming (because all of the corresponding flaps rhyme).

With my daughters love of the book I had a little brainstorm with the hopes that I could get her to try some new foods.  (she’s a SUPER picky eater).  I created the “Witch’s Kitchen Menu”.  So, let’s see …

Yummy, right?  Let’s flip the menu over to see what we’re REALLY serving …

With a little creativity (and a strong stomach!), you can turn just about anything into a a witch’s menu!  If you have some more suggestions, add them to the comments below!  AND if you have a post on an activity or craft that you’ve done with a book by Nick Sharrat we’d LOVE for your to add it to this month’s blog hop …

1. Pick your favorite book by Nick Sharrat (or a new one you want to check out) and read it with your child or class.

2. Create an activity, project, craft, cooking project, etc. related to the book and do it.
