Shredded Chicken Tacos

Shredded Chicken Tacos are our favorite easy meal. Toss 3 ingredients in the slow cooker and when you come home you will have an awesome family meal waiting on you.

If it were up to me, we would eat tacos all of the time. They are easy, versatile and so tasty, no matter how you make them. My husband has to reign me in sometimes with my enthusiasm for tacos, but he never complains about these easy Shredded Chicken Tacos for dinner.

I love these because they are effortless and they taste just as good as the ones from the little local restaurant down the street from my house and they are one of those dump and go dinners. Let the crock pot do all of the work for you.

This recipe starts with frozen chicken breasts and end with fresh and flavorful tender chicken. I like to make this with the 3 pound bags of frozen chicken breast, for a good amount of chicken tacos for meal prepping and leftovers.

Ingredients:
3 pounds of frozen chicken breast
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 16 oz jar of salsa
2 cups of water

Directions:
Place 2 cups of water in the slow cooker
Add 3 pounds of chicken breast
Pour a jar of salsa into the slow cooker.
Add a can of cream of chicken soup.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Before serving give it all a good stir to shred the chicken.
Serve with toppings of your choice. I like panella cheese crumbles, avocado, fresh cilantro and a little lime.
Store leftovers for up to 5 days in the fridge.
This shredded chicken meat is awesome in quesadillas and on nachos too!

Play Doh Lollipop Counting

Give early math lessons a sweet spin with this play dough lollipop counting activity. It  combines counting, fine motor skills and a touch of creativity to provide lots of hands on educational fun.

Play doh is my go to tool for hands on learning fun. There are so many ways to use it to learn. This play doh lollipop counting activity is fantastic because it uses basic supplies like craft sticks and play doh to create a math lesson little kids will love!

Supplies:
Assorted colors of play doh
Craft Sticks
Numbers or dice


Directions:
Invite your child to form the lollipops with a small bit of play doh and the craft sticks.
Encourage your child to pick a number from the pile or roll a dice.
Whichever number they come up with, encourage them to roll out that many itty bitty tiny balls of play doh in a different color.
Decorate the lollipops with the small balls of doh.
Repeat with more numbers for a hands on math lesson that works in fine motor skill work too!

Rainbow Disc Sensory Bag

Give kids a fun way to sort colors while getting a little sensory play in with this rainbow disc sensory bag.

We love sensory play. From bins to bags, and even bottles; anyway you present sensory play we are in!

With the kids being out of school for so long I have been really busy coming up with activities to engage them, challenge them, and keep them entertained. We made this easy sensory bag to practice our color sorting and pattern making skills. It is perfect for adding some color to the day.

Supplies:

Hand Sanitizer or Hair Gel

Rainbow Counting Chips

Zipper Seal Bag

Sharpies

Directions:

Draw a rainbow on a zipper seal sandwich bag with Sharpies.

Add several squirts of hand sanitizer or hair gel (about a tablespoon or two of gel is ideal).

Drop transparent colored counting chips (or bingo markers) in the colors of the rainbow into the bag.

Seal well. If your child has 'rough hands' you might want to reinforce the sides with tape to prevent the sides from busting. (This is a good idea for toddlers, but can be skipped for older kids!)

If your child has 'gentle hands' you can skip the reinforcement with tape.

Invite your child to glide the discs thru the gel and place them on the color they match.

When finished, check the seal to be sure it is closed and store for another day when a quiet activity is needed.

Homeschool Labs - COVID-19

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Greg Landry's Homeschool Labs.

Students in Greg Landry’s online science classes have had a lot of questions about COVID-19 (by the way, this is not the name of the virus), and your children may also have questions. Greg has created a PDF to address the common questions and to give students an understanding of viruses in general, and this virus in particular...in a way that's fun for students.

Home School Science Freebies

For example, Greg Landry believes that in science, it's very important for students to have what he calls "magnitude perspective". We all know that viruses and bacteria are very small but few people really have a perspective on how small they are and how they compare with each other and to the width of a human hair. He does this not only with numbers but also with graphics they can easily understand.

Free Homeschool Student COVID-19 Printable Lesson and Worksheet (and a free bonus lesson and worksheet on the muscular system).

Greg Landry’s FREE PDF also covers:
- Are viruses alive?
- How do they affect humans
- What's the actual name of the current virus? (few people know this).
- What is "coronavirus"?
- What do they look like?
- Where do viruses come from?
- What are some common diseases caused by viruses?

This PDF includes a printable student worksheet with graphics to label and color plus a virus quiz.

My daughter Harp loves to color. She often grabs our dual coloring book and asks me to work on a page with her. She had a unicorn themed birthday party so we made these to share with the grown ups who patiently waited during all of the fun. 

I decided to share a little whimsical fun with you too. Harp and I have a stack of these leftover, and we like to pull them out here and there. We have quite a few coloring pages on site here. Make sure you check them out and print some for preschoolers or elementary aged kids.
