Easter Mints Kids Can Make

1/3 c Soft butter

1/3 c Light corn syrup

1/2 ts Salt

1 ts Flavoring

3 1/2 c ( 1 lb ) sifted confectioner's sugar

Large bowl

Wooden spoon

Paper plates

Pencils

This is a no-cook recipe the children can mix with their hands. Flavor it

with any of the liquid flavorings in the supermarket, such as

strawberry and lemon. If you want, you can instead divide it into three

portions and add a few drops of food coloring to tint it yellow, red, and

green. The knead a small amount of flavoring into each one. This

recipe makes about 1 1/2 lbs of candy.

Help the children measure all the ingredients into the large bowl. They

can take turns stirring it with the wooden spoon until it becomes too

stiff. Then they can knead it with their hands. They should continue

kneading until the dough is smooth.

Give each child a paper plate and a pencil. Tell them to turn their

plates OVER and write their names on the Bottom to prevent pencil

lead from getting on their mints. Help them hold their pencils correctly.

Make sure they use upper and lower case letters.

Give each child a portion of dough on his or her plate. The children can

pinch off pieces, roll them into balls, and press them lightly with a fork

to make a fancy butter mint. Children who cannot roll the candy into

balls can make snakes, cut the snakes into pieces, and press the

pieces with a fork. They might eat the pieces with the fork, but that's

ok too. Leave the mints on the plates and refrigerate them for 30

minutes, until they become firm. Easter Mints taste even better the

second day, if you can keep everyone from eating them all on the first

day. Cover with plastic wrap and keep them in the refrigerator.

Eyeballs on Ritz

Eggs; hard boiled

Black olives

Ritz crackers

Red food coloring

Cut hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and make filling

for deviled eggs. Cut out small hole from bottom center of each egg

(about 5/8" diameter.) Poke a black olive partway through each hole

and hold in place by filling eggs with yolk filling. Place each egg, olive

side up, on a ritz cracker. Paint red lines, resembling blood veins, with

a toothpick on the eye.

Fish in the River

2 Celery stalks

1/4 c Cream cheese; or other cheese spread (tinted green if desired)

8 Goldfish crackers

Trim and wash celery and fill with cheese. Top with crackers and serve.

Food for a Hobo Hike

4 cn Tuna (3 oz each)

4 cn Baked beans (6 oz each)

4 Oranges

4 Plastic

4 Bandana clots

4 Children

Place 1 can tuna, 1 can beans, 1 orange, and 1 fork on each

banadana. Bring up corners and tie securely. Tie end to children's belt

loop or attach to a stick and send them off on their hobo hike.

Pack another hobo pouch for yourself and go along. Make sure

someone has a Scout knife with a can opener attachment to open cans

(much more fun struggling with one of these things than to

take a conventional can opener). The oranges serve as both a drink

and a dessert. Poke a hole in one end and after all the juice has been

sucked out, open it and eat the flesh. The tuna and beans, of course,

are eaten just as they come from the can. The bandanas serve as little

tablecloths, napkins, and kerchiefs to be worn back home. Children

love this hobo picnic--it's easy for you, nutritious, filling, and fun from

them.

Funny Face Carrot Salad

2 carrots

1 small can crushed pineapple

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

Raisins

Peel carrots. Roll up a few long shavings and save them for "hair" on a

final salad. Grate carrots with a grater. Be careful of your fingers.

Drain can of crushed pineapples in a strainer, using a spoon to push

out the juice. Toss pineapple with carrots, then add vanilla yogurt.

Spoon some salad onto a plate. Make a smiling face with raisins. Style

carrot "hair", and serve with a smile.

6 Hot dog buns

About 1" from one end of a hot dog, start a slit in the hot dog that

goes vertically to the other end. Turn a quarter turn and make another

slit. Keep making slits until you have eight "legs" for the hot dog. Boil
