Winter Fun & Fun Salad


WINTER FUN / LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING
Collecting Snowballs Fun ~ A fun game to print and play.  A way of teaching math to young children.
Fan-Tastic Snowflakes ~ Accordion fold paper to create snowflakes!  Very pretty!
Nesting Shelf Project ~ This easy-to-make nesting shelf is the perfect project for your first birdhouse. It’s ideal for attracting robins this spring.


A FUN SALAD FOR THE KIDS
Have your children help make this salad with you - even the tiny tots can help!

Body:  fresh or canned peach half
Arms and legs:  small celery sticks
Head:  half a hard cooked egg
Eyes, nose, shoes, buttons:  raisins
Mouth:  piece of a cherry or dried cranberry (spread out some)
Hair:  grated yellow cheese
Skirt:  ruffled lettuce leaf

The "skirt" is placed under the peach half (a pear would also work). 
The "buttons" are placed on the peach half "bodice."
For the head you place the yolk down so only the white shows for the face.
You could use very finely grated/shredded carrot for the hair instead of the cheese.
