MLK Snacks
Contact_FullName: Barbara Contact_Email: bpeavy@pdq.net Idea: We make friendship salad. Each child brings a fruit. We cut up the fruit and mix them into a salad. We eat it and then share with another class at the center. Date: 1-15-00For MLK Day, we had a snack starting with a loaf of bread. Ahead of time, I used a round cookie cutter to cut out little "Earths" for each child. At snack time, each child gets an "Earth" along with about 5 each of choc., peanut butter, and vanilla chips. The children pushed their different colors into the Earth, then ate it. The different colors of chips signified some of the different colors of people on Earth, and how we all share the same planet. This year I will give only those wearing a certain color the chocolate chips, and when the children say "That's not fair!", we'll discuss fairness in relation to MLK. Date: 1-13-00Activity and Snack idea for Martin Luther King...At circle time we talk about what Martin Luther King wanted for all people. I then take it to the snack table. I pass out crackers to all the children. I tell them that only children wearing green will get peanut butter on their crackers (pick a color that some children are wearing or eye color) you will hear a lot of remarks such as "that's not fair" take it from there and say "No, it's not fair and I'm going to do what Mr. King wanted us to do, everyone gets peanut butter! This simple activity helps young children with the concept of equality. Date: 1-9-00Friendship Pizza: Vegetable-oil spray 20oz. refrigerated sugar-cookie dough 8oz. cream cheese, softened 1/2c. sugar 1tsp. vanilla 2TBS. water 1/2 c. orange marmalade fruits 1/2c. of each: strawberries,kiwi, pineapple chunks, blueberries, or any your children enjoy 1) Preheat oven to 350. 2) Spray round pizza pan with vegetable-oil spray. 3) Spread cookie dough evenly on a round pizza pan.
