    Fun Facts about Pizzas for Children

    Here are some fun facts about pizzas that you can share with your children before the activity:

    1. Pizza has been around for a long time – it was first created in Italy in the 1700s!
    2. The largest pizza ever made was almost as long as a football field!
    3. Pepperoni is the most popular pizza topping in the United States, but you can put all kinds of yummy toppings on your pizza – like cheese, vegetables, or even fruits!
    4. Some people like their pizza crust thin and crispy, while others like it thick and doughy.
    5. Pizza is a fun food to make at home – you can make your own dough and add whatever toppings you like.
    6. Pizza can be a healthy meal if you choose the right toppings – try adding lots of vegetables and using whole wheat crust.

    Extending this Pizza theme activity

    You can also extend this activity by giving your kiddo some gel markers and asking them to colour the pepperoni and the tomatoes and add olives or bell peppers or more to the shapes to make their pizza as abundant and extravagant as they'd like.

    And then, if you want to extend this activity even further, you can all get in the kitchen and whip up a real pizza that the whole family can enjoy.

    Happy pizza play, friends!
