Ant Logs
Kendeyl Johansen
A fun lunch idea kids can make all by themselves!
Ingredients
Celery sticks
Carrot sticks
Peanut butter
Raisins
Directions
To make the ant logs, have your child spread peanut butter across each celery and carrot stick with the knife. Sprinkle raisin "ants" on top of the peanut butter. Press lightly on the raisins to make them stick. Arrange your logs on plates.
Suggestions
Children love to use knives. Cutting and spreading makes them feel independent and big, but always remember to supervise knife use by children.
