"Pepperoni Alphabet" Pizza

This is a craft from No Time For Flash Cards and I thought it is great fun to do. Well, that was before I had to cut the "pepperoni" slices... Even though I did the green peppers yesterday, there was still plenty of "ingredients" to prepare. Fortunately, I got Papa involved last night in the preparations, so he cut the "mushrooms" and pasted the "slices" together.

As the "pizza" was huge, I let Sophie use a roller to apply the "tomato sauce". I love the way, she said "roll"...

Then she used the paint brush to dab on the "crust" of the pizza. I had to roll it up for her, using her drumsticks.

The "pizza" dough was ready for the ingredients finally, after 30 minutes of drying. I know pizzas are round... I miscalculated and it turned out to be an octagon (opps!).

I helped Sophie squeeze white glue all over the "pizza" and guided her in pasting the pieces of "green peppers", "tomatoes", "mushrooms" and "olives". I took time naming all the ingredients as we pasted them on. They are not foreign to her because she has read them in one of her readers (her favourite).

And at last, we pasted the 26 letters onto the pizza. Although she could not identify or say the alphabet, Sophie liked listening to my alphabet chant and she enjoyed pasting the "pepperoni" letter slices. How do I know? Ha! She did not protest or whine as we did it, instead she patiently fiddle with each letter before pressing them down onto the pizza.

(Should I trim the sides and make it round instead?)
