Marshmallows, mugs, and math oh my!

Okay, I like the warm, mild weather of the south but it's January and I should at least have to wear a jacket!  I'm not asking for three feet of snow or even a few snow flurries, but I would like to be able to sit by the fire and sip some hot chocolate without breaking sweat!  So...even though I might have to wear my sunglasses and shorts, it is winter (according to the calendar) and that means it's time for some marshmallows and hot cocoa.  I created a fun marshmallow math activity using clip art from this shop


You really need to check out the clipart from this shop.  There are some super cute penguins that I really need to figure out how to use!  Mr. Bubblegum is uber talented and I promise I'm not just saying that because Mr. Bubblegum is related to The Bubblegum Tree.  Mr. Bubblegum is the hubs!  Yes, that's right, I have my own personal clip art creator in the house.  I am one lucky girl!  And as you can imagine, he is always more than willing to jump out of bed at 1:00 am when I have had a midnight brainstorm about an activity I just have to do for school the next day.  Well...I might be exaggerating just a little bit, but he is the reason I can add super cute characters to my pages!

Here's our latest collaborative freebie.  Click on either picture to download.  I found the colored marshmallows at Walmart and mixed the white ones in.  Enjoy!

  1. I'm your newest follower! I really like your husband's art. I like to use artwork with clean, bold lines that show up well when you Xerox them. I also love the freebie!

    1. Hi Krissy! Thanks for stopping by. "Mr. Bubblegum" does all kinds of illustrating did you have something particular in mind? If you can give me some more details I'll run it by him. He's pretty busy right now but in the future we would like to do a giveaway that includes some customized clip art!
