Purple Cow Time

A quick, easy and nutritious snack that fits well with a book about farm animals, harvest time, farmers, and Thanksgiving.

Purple Cow Milkshake

1 cup cold milk 1/3 cup cold grape juice
2 – 4 small scoops of vanilla ice cream

Measure and pour milk and grape juice together. Let your child stir and admire the color! Add the ice cream and a straw. Enjoy!!

Conversation - Where do we get milk?
How is ice cream made?
Name some things that are hot, cold.
Why do we keep milk or ice cream cold or frozen?
What does melted ice cream taste like?

The Color Purple

Take a field trip to a Farmer's Market or grocery store to find purple fruits and vegetables. Take pictures with a digital camera and use them to make a book about the color purple. Write the names of fruits and veggies that are purple.

Read the book, Harold and the Purple Crayon. Use a magazine to find things that are purple. Cut them out and paste in a notebook. Label the items with a purple marker.
