Your kids will not only love their vegetables, they'll seek them out.
Supplies:
-Orange construction paper
-Green construction paper
-Scissors
-Glue
-Snacks
Directions:
1. Cut out 20 carrots from orange construction paper and glue on the green construction paper tops.
2. "Plant" them all around the house--under sofa cushions, in the silverware drawer, or taped to the refrigerator door, for example.
3. Then send your kids around the house to gather all the carrots. Let them redeem their carrots for snacks, such as a small box of raisins, a pack of gum, a bag of pretzels, or a piece of carrot cake.
Another great twist is to let each child cut out their own carrot and green top, decorate it, write their name on it and then "plant" them. After all carrots are found, make sure each carrot gets back to its owner. This way, the party guests gets to make a craft and they have a great reminder of the fun they had to take home with them!
My name is Rebecca; our oldest child and I both have food allergies. Unfortunately for us, we are allergic to items that are main ingredients in our society's main stream diet. This has forced me to approach cooking and baking in a whole new way! This Blog is my way of sharing the various tips, tricks and creative ideas I have encountered during quest to create meals my family and friends have come to love.
