T is currently in Scotland! One of the adventures his group is going on while they are there is to search the Loch on a sonar equipped boat to look for Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. He will also learn about the research undertaken in the past by explorers seeking the monster.
I am trying to give C and R a little taste of what their big brother is doing while he is away, so we read Nessie The Loch Ness Monster by Richard Brassey while eating a Nessie snack. This is a great book for young children who are interested in the Scottish legend.
For the snack, I cut two chocolate doughnuts in half (one of the halves was cut in half again to make the head and tail) and placed them on a blue cutting board as seen in the above photo. I figured the blue surface could be the ocean, but I added some blue candies too. I also stuck green candies on our Nessie (I didn't use anything to stick them on, the chocolate on the doughnuts held them in place). So, this wasn't a healthy snack, but it was a fun, memorable weekend treat!
C is very upset that some people think Nessie really does exist!

It may not be healthy, but it definitely makes up for it in cuteness! How fun!!!
What fun!! We saw a cartoon on Nessie during the previews to Winnie the Pooh! It was super cute!
Maybe T will be the one to find Nessie :)
this is a great snack! I love how you are keeping the little ones clued in to what is going on with older brother. Your a fantastic mom!
How is your traveler doing?

Very cute snack. I am sure T will have a blast in Scotland. How fun!
Oh my goodness. That has to be one of the cutest snacks ever. I think it's great that you are helping C and R learn about things T will be telling them about soon.
