Trip had a good time with the alphabet in Jell-O, much like he did with J's in Jell-O earlier this year. I made one large box of Jell-O in a plastic storage container, then added a little more than half of the alphabet. I used a mix of cookie cutter, magnetic, and foam letters. Once that set up in the fridge, I made another box of gelatin, poured it over the first batch, and added the rest of the letters. After the whole thing solidified, I turned it out onto a cookie sheet, and let Trip have at it.
He had a great time digging out those letters and was very serious about his work.
Another alphabet activity that Trip loved was alphabet soup. I made a simple soup of onions, garlic, carrots, celery, tomatoes, chicken stock, and some spices. Once the veggies were tender, I added a bag of tiny alphabet noodles (the kind you find in the Mexican food aisle). The noodles couldn't cook fast enough for Trip and his friends who were eagerly anticipating a fun lunch.
Two helpings later, this was all that was left in Trip's bowl. Everyone enjoyed eating the alphabet and happily ate their veggies.
Yum! That soup sounds and looks pretty tasty! I love those little alphabet pasta shapes too!
