Practice Spreading

Choose one of the following kids recipes:

Spiders

• Round crackers
• Cream cheese or cheese spread
• Pretzel sticks
• Raisins

Allow your child to create these spiders. Spread cheese on top of one cracker.


Add pretzel sticks on top of cheese for legs. Put another cracker on top, (you may need to add more cheese.) Add a dab of cheese on top of cracker and attach raisins for eyes. You can also substitute peanut butter for the cream cheese, if desired.

Let kids experiment and they might come up with their own version like this one:

Apple Frogs

• Green apples, cut in slices
• Green grapes, cut in half
• Peanut butter
• Mini chocolate chips

Adult should cut apple into slices leaving green peel on. Allow child to spread peanut butter on top of apple slice and layer another slice on top. Add dabs of peanut butter on top and attach green grapes. Add another dab of peanut butter and place chocolate chips on for eyes.

Add baby spinach under the frogs for lily pads.
