Good Eats at Disneyland (2016 Edition)

Usually amusement park dining isn't known for being healthy or tasty, but you may be surprised to learn that Disney offers more dining options nowadays. Not in the mood for chicken nuggets or a hot dog? Disneyland's got you covered. So without further adieu, here are some of my favorite meals and treats at Disneyland Anaheim!
Main Street USA:
-Gibson Girl Ice-Cream Parlor
-Carnation Café- there are not too many options for breakfast inside the park, but if you're looking for a full breakfast, this is a place to check out, with waffles, oatmeal, fruit parfaits, and more. They also have a lunch and dinner menu.
-Jolly Holiday Bakery Café- They have cake. They have cookies. They have cupcakes. Need I say more?
Frontierland:
-The Golden Horseshoe- If you stop by here, definitely get one of their ice-cream sundaes! They hold the occasional show and it is sometimes a good place to lose the crowd (hint: they have additional seating if you go up the stairs).
-Ranco del Zocalo
New Orleans Square:
-Blue Bayou Restaurant (w/ reservation)- A favorite, if you can have a meal here definitely do it. This restaurant is located next to the opening scene in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. The scenery is great, and the food is pretty good to. I personally recommend the gumbo, mint julep, and salmon.
- French Market- located in between Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion, the French Market has a variety of choices for kids and adults. For kids the Macaroni Cheese is good (works for an adult snack/small meal). The jambalaya is good and from what I have been told the French Dip sandwich is also.
-Mint Julep Bar- this one is not so much a restaurant as a place you can stop for snacks and drinks. Their most popular treat are the Mickey shaped Beignets, which I definitely recommend trying. They also serve mint juleps here. I personally really like them, although other people have compared it to minty gum water. In any case, if you have a group it may be good to start with one mint julep
-Royal Street Veranda or Harbour Galley- I say either or for this one because both places serve basically the same menu, but Harbour Galley tends to have a slightly shorter line due to its lack of visibility. Both places serve a personal favorite of mine, which are the clam chowder bread bowls. Extra hint for Harbour Galley, if you look across the water there is additional seating. If you have trouble finding a table, head over there. You can also get a good view of the bottom of the Splash Mountain drop in that area, so definitely take a moment to explore!
Tomorrowland:
-Pizza Port/Galactic Grill- Unfortunately there aren't a ton of dining options in Tomorrowland, but here are the main two options here. Pizza Port of course sells pizza and Galactic Grill has a variety from onion rings to sandwiches to burgers.
Fantasyland:
-Not much to add here. I good rule of thumb when eating and using the bathroom in Fantasyland is...don't.

-In addition to the options above, there are stands throughout the park that sell fresh fruit, frozen lemonades, and other snacks. The flavored frozen lemonades are really good :)

Pre-k Stranger Danger Circle and Activity

Your preschoolers may know how many legs an ant has, how to use a pipette, and how to count to ten, but do they know how to stay safe around strangers? It is such an important lesson, yet not all children are exposed to it. It is also a difficult subject for us adults to talk about, but there are ways to introduce "stranger danger" skills without scaring young children. To get you started, below are a couple ideas for a stranger danger unit. Intro to Stranger Danger Circle Transition in- For our transition in, we started with a finger play to get children settled. Before our story, I introduced the question "What is a Stranger?". As I had anticipated, children guessed that a stranger was a bad guy; they described strangers as being burglars, people who take kids, and bad guys. Body- For the bulk of this circle, I chose to read a book from my childhood, which is "The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers". This story is about young sister bear lea...

How to Collage with Inkscape

Greetings! Today I wanted to share a method I use for creating artwork...one that is quick, easy, and somewhat addicting. Creating collage using a digital program may seem daunting, but it's actually a really easy way to make art, especially if you're not as gifted in the whole technical aspect. For today I am using Inkscape, which at this time is a free program that can be downloaded (you can get it from their official website: https://inkscape.org/en/download/). Keep in mind the techniques I'm using today are somewhat advanced and although I will try to walk through it as simply as possible, you may also consider experimenting and becoming more familiar with Inkscape if you are a first time user before attempting this tutorial. The first step for any type of collage-making is to collect materials for collage. Doing this digitally is easy, since there are so many great images on the internet. Google images is great for getting images if you know what specifically you...

Thoughts on Week of the Young Child 2017

Next week starting April 24th is Week of the Young Child 2017 (WOTYC), which celebrates young children, parents, and educators. In preparation for this time, I have been thinking about how I want to share this event with you. The most obvious idea seemed to be sharing activity ideas based on the curriculum themes for each day. As I sat down to write up activity plans, I kept thinking there was something bigger I wanted to say. Taking things back a step, I focused on the event itself. Why do we have Week of the Young Child, when the suggested themes and ideas should be celebrated all year long? The most important reason is awareness...children are important! With a special time of year for everything, from puppies to ice cream sundaes, it can be difficult to take these celebrations seriously. But some are more important than others. No matter how little experience you have with kids, we all have important reasons to care, to educate ourselves, and to be better. During our first...
