To supplement our study on monkeys, we modified this chocolate covered banana recipe and made them into "Monkey Bites". We cut up 2 bananas into about 2" slices, placed toothpicks in the middle and froze them until they were hard.
Melt 1/2 to 1 c. chocolate chips (we used white melting chocolate b/c we had it on hand) and dip bananas in. (sorry this is a blurry pic!)
Add sprinkles or whatnot while the chocolate is still soft. Allow to harden and enjoy your "monkey bites".
This habitat idea is totally stolen from my friend Ann, who did a much more artistic job with her son than we did here at home!
My son also colored a picture, and I wrote down a few simple facts about monkeys so we could review it at some point. We sang the "No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" for good measure : ) We have 5 other animals we're going to do similar projects for.
