PETE’S A PIZZA by William Steig

This is always a big “crowd pleaser”, the children love this book. Most children love pizza, but did you know they might prefer to be made into one?

We had just as much fun as Pete. We kneaded the dough:

And stretched it this way and that:

Hahahah, we did NOT whirl and twirl!

But we did add “oil”:

And some “flour”:

Our tomatoes were paper:

We added cheese:

There was a LOT of laughing….

After we took our pizza “out of the oven” we sliced it up!

Why not give it a try?

Projector: we watched this guy “whirling and twirling” his pizza dough!

My after school classes had fun making each other into pizzas, and then playing with real pizza dough:

They also went home with their own Pete’s a Pizza kit:
