Classroom Pizza Party Ideas: Crafts, Slices & Smiles

Hungry Howie’s knows the secret ingredient to a happy classroom is pizza. Teachers love the easy clean up, and kids usually won’t be playing hooky on pizza party day.

After the pizza has been consumed and drinks guzzled downed, engage students with easy and entertaining pizza-themed crafts:

• Pizza Slice Coloring Pages
