Craft: Box train (small boxes or paper rectangles, paper circles (wheels), crayons, glue stick, yarn), with a grown-up. Snack: Banana Sushi (swap: Flour tortillas → corn tortillas; Peanut butter → sunflower seed butter), recipe at peabody.kids/kitchen/banana-sushi. Outside: Hands on shoulders, the whole room is a train. Chug slow, chug fast, stop at the station, through the tunnel (under a blanket).
