MAKE AN ANIMAL
Tap into your
child's fascination with animals by letting him make snacks that resemble lions
and tigers and bears.
FRECKLE-FACED
BEARS
1 10-oz. pkg.
refrigerator biscuits
1/4 cup sesame or sunflower seeds
36 raisins
Preheat the
oven to 400 degrees and spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Roll
six raw biscuits into balls, roll in seeds, then flatten slightly on the cookie
sheet to form the bears' heads.
Roll small
pieces of dough to form ears and noses, and use raisins for eyes. Use leftover
dough to create letters, monsters, faces or pigs. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Makes 6
bears.
PENGUINS
8 large dates,
pitted
1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese, softened
1 thin slice cheddar cheese
16 chocolate sprinkles, for eyes
Slice dates
open and stuff with cream cheese. Stand up the dates and add two cheese
triangles for feet and one for a beak. Add two sprinkles for eyes. Makes 8.
ZOO FOOD
Let the kids
make their own three-dimensional zoo, using animal crackers. Give the kids three
crackers of the same animal.
Have them
spread jam or peanut butter to make three-layer cracker sandwiches. Stand the
crackers up and parade them across the table.
