Cooking with Kids
Fun Food Ideas to Make with Your Kids
By Kendeyl Johansen
Have your child spread the slices of bread with mayonnaise. (Always remember to supervise knife use by children.) Arrange bread slices on plates.
Place turkey slices on bread to make open-face sandwiches. Add color by topping sandwiches with yellow cheese. Cut sandwiches into circular shapes with cookie cutter.
Have an adult cut the cherry tomatoes into halves. Let your child place the cherry tomatoes onto the bread (cut side down) to create the ladybug's spots.
Arrange pretzel sticks on sides of bread to create legs.
Fishy Jell-O Cups
According to the official Jell-O Web site, more than 1,134,239 packages of Jell-O gelatin are purchased or eaten every day. But your children may be tired of plain Jell-O. Add an imaginative twist by plopping candy fish into these blue Jell-O mini-lagoons. You'll need:
| 4 see-through plastic cups | |
| Water | |
| Small package of blue Jell-O | |
| Gummy fish |
Have an adult prepare Jell-O according to package directions. Next, pour the liquid Jell-O into plastic cups. Let your child add the fish and stir.
Place the mini-lagoons in refrigerator until liquid sets.
