Monster Toast

My mother-in-law went to a home party with Discovery Toys and bought their cookbook, “Kinder Krunches,” for my children. She thought it was great and something the kids would like.

The cookbook has a list of recipes that follow the alphabet. For example, the first recipe is A for Animal Crackers. Next is B for Banana Bread. C is for Coconut. Since it is arranged by alphabetical order, there are 26 recipes. Each recipe has written and picture directions. A section called “What do you think?” and “Try this!” “What do you think?” asks questions about what the child is doing and about the recipe, helping the child to gain a deeper understanding of what the child is doing and what the ingredients are. “Try This!” is a section that has the student to make up a story about one of the animal crackers, makes serving suggestions to go with recipe, or create a letter out of the food that is being prepared.

One of our favorite recipes is Monster Toast. It is super easy and will keep the children busy for a while. You need milk, food coloring, paint brushes, and bread. Mix the food coloring and the milk together. This is your “paint.” Take your “paint” and make monster faces on your bread, anything else you would like. Toast the bread. When it comes out, you have a work of art that you can eat.

Penelope and Will thought it was the greatest thing. “Mommy, I get to paint on bread,” they asked, making sure that I had told me the correct information. They painted wonderfully, scary monsters on their bread. We toasted it and ate it. This was a day to remember. Since it is so close to Halloween, if you have little people, this might be something fun to day in the month of October, or save this cool recipe for a rainy day, when the kids really need to be occupied. �
