When my kids were young, we ALWAYS had goldfish in the house. And I always had goldfish in my diaper bag, in the car, packed for swim meets, etc.

As they got older, though, at some point I just stopped buying them. And last summerwhen my kids (now teen & tween) were at the grocery with me, I saw that goldfish were on sale. And I pointed that out to my daughterand she & my son both HAD to have them.

And asked why we never had them anymore! And demanded that we always have them in the house again!

The fact that they felt so connected to something like that from their young years made me my smile! These activities are clever. If only Goldfish came in a gluten-free version that those plagued with Celiac Disease could use, I’d be on this bandwagon in an instant! I suspect substituting raisins for the Goldfish wouldn’t work as well.

Perhaps gluten-free Chex cereal pieces would work.

Another idea is to make the letters of the alphabet with them or name them with names that rhyme ir start with the different lettersUmmm could you paint them? Or at least glue them into a scene?My little girl loves to bake so maybe grind them up a new coating for chicken nuggets??If they were colored ones or the baby ones you could do ratios (3 out of 4 are this color, 4 out of 10 are small etc) or use them for adding or patterns.Do Goldfish Jenga.how many can you stack?Give them names and make up stories about them.Work on descriptive words and senses to describe them.taste, feel, smell etc. My 11 yr old still comes home every day after school and has a bowl of goldfish – she has loved them ever since she was a baby!

My younger two kids like some of the other new flavors but she eats nothing but good old fashion original cheddar goldfish, won’t even consider trying any other kinds!
