6-2-00Ants on a Stump!! The children really enjoy this twist on an old time favorite, ants on a log. I take apples and slice them in circular shapes, the children then take their peanut butter, spread it and sprinkle with raisins.
5-28-00Apple Ladybugs Cut an apple in half. Use 1/2 apple for body. Dot peanut butter on skin. Place raisins on apple where peanut butter is for spots. Use marshmallow on toothpick for head. Use pull 'n peel Twizzlers for antennas.
4-28-00Supplies: Gummy worms, Oreo cookies, sandwich bags and paper cups. Place Oreo cookies in a sandwich bag and let the kids crush them. Then dump them into to paper cup and add gummy worms. Then they can eat worms and dirt!
Date: 4-10-00Mix orange juice, 7-up or any clear soda, peach yogurt or any kind of sherbet. Pour the mixture into 5 oz. cups. Give each child a small drink stirring straw. Tell the children to drink their flower nectar juice. You can tape flower patterns around the top of the cups.
Date: 4-10-00Edible Butterflies. Peel the skin off of some oranges. Separate the sections so that you have smaller ones with two pieces of orange. Pull this section a part, but leave it connected in the middle. Then cut some small pieces of pull a part licorice. Let the children put the licorice on the top to use for antennas. Enjoy your butterflies.
Date: 3-26-00lo- mien noodle spiders
Date: 3-26-00Jell-O ladybugs You will need a muffin pan that will make enough lady bugs for your class. Have the children line the bottom of the tin with raisins. Then prepare Jell-O according to jiggler instructions. pour into each section and chill until firm then pop out and enjoy! ( it is easier to get the Jell-O out if you soak the pan in warm water before trying to get Jell-O out)
Date: 3-26-00Celery and Pretzel Butterflies Cut a small piece of celery for the body of the butterfly. Spread some cream cheese or peanut butter inside of the stalk of celery. Add 4 small folded pretzels for the butterfly wings. Add 2 strings of black licorice for the antennas.
Date: 3-20-00I read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" to my class and then I had them make their own healthy snack. We made caterpillars that we could eat. Recipe: Shred 1 leaf of lettuce, spread cream cheese on 4 Ritz crackers. Layer the crackers slightly on top of each other to form the body of the caterpillar, the crackers were placed on top of the lettuce. We then took 2 raisins for eyes and 6-8 chow mien noodles for legs. The children loved eating their caterpillars as much as they loved making them.
ideaYou can make a butterfly by using a celery stick as the body. Cut a pineapple ring in half and place one half on each side of the celery stalk. Fill in the hole in the ring with either cream cheese or cottage cheese. You can use raisins for polka dots and eyes (use a bit of the cheese to make them stick to the celery.)
ideaYou can make bug sandwiches. You use a dinner roll (use tuna or anything else for the filling) and use very thin carrot sticks as the legs. You can use olives for the eyes and lettuce leaves as wings.

Kids really love making these and then eating them. Daylene Here is an oldie.....but goodie! Ants or bugs on a log Needed: Raisins(ants) or prunes (bugs), celery, peanut butter (make sure no one in your class is allergic) Give each child a piece of celery. Have the children wash and dry their celery. Next, have them spread peanut butter on the celery and put either their ants (raisins) or their bugs (prunes). Eat up!!! You could also use cream cheese if you have children in your class who are allergic to peanut butter. |
