Freaky Frog with Flies
Better than eating frog legs, families can feast on this
freaky frog and a fly or two!
What you need:
- A green apple
- Peanut butter
- Dried, sliced (round)
- Almond slices
- apples or dried banana
- A small fruit baller
- Shelled sunflower seeds
- A small plate
- Raisins
- Paring knife (have a parent use this)
What you do:
Pull off the stem and have an adult carefully cut a wedge out of the apple for your frog’s mouth. Through the mouth, use the fruit baller to carefully scoop out the apple core and seeds.
Shove in the pointy part of the almonds for the frog’s teeth. Leave a gap on the bottom so you can use the apple wedge as the frog’s tongue—attaching it with peanut butter (using it as a sort of paste). You might need to have your parent cut the wedge a little thinner. Above the wide mouth, use the peanut butter to attach two pieces of the dried fruit for some froggie eyes.
For flies, carefully stick the pointy ends of the almond slivers into each raisin to form wings. Use a touch of peanut butter to glue flies onto your frog’s tongue and the plate. Enjoy your scrumptious amphibious creation!
Snail PB & J Sandwiches!
These bizarre creatures slowly slide along sidewalks, and up and down walls and plants, leaving behind slime trails wherever they go. You’d move slowly, too, if you had to haul around your house on your back!
What you need:
- Two slices of bread
- Pretzel sticks or party toothpicks
- Peanut butter
- Jelly
- Two plates
- A rolling pin
- A butter knife or plastic knife
What you do:
Cut the crusts off of the bread and lightly roll over each slice with your rolling pin. Spread peanut butter on one side of the bread. Put a layer of jelly on top of the peanut butter. Roll the bread into a log shape with the peanut butter on the inside.
Slice each log into four or five cross sections to make your snails. Insert pretzel sticks or toothpicks as your snails’ antennae.
On the plate, make short slime trails out of jelly, about the thickness of your knife. Place your snail at the end of each trail!
Shoveling Dirt & Worms (A Classic Delicacy)
It looks like a cup of dirt and worms from your neighborhood bait shop, but you’re sure to giggle as you dig into this downright dirty dessert!
What you need:
- A 4-serving size package of instant chocolate pudding
- 2 cups milk
- Half a package of crushed Oreos
- A thawed small tub of whipped topping
- A package of gummy worms
- Clear plastic or glass cups
- A spoon for shoveling it all in!
What you do:
Vigorously mix the milk and instant pudding for two minutes, and let stand five minutes to thicken. Add whipped topping and 1/2 cup of the crushed cookies—mix together.
Fill glasses half full with this mud mix. Sprinkle on a 3/4-inch layer of crushed Oreos (dirt) and top with a couple of gummy worms. Refrigerate until it’s time to start shoveling it in.
Yummy Breakfast Barf
This recipe is as easy as can be and is good for ya, too!
What you need:
- A packet of your favorite instant oatmeal
- An apple cut (by an adult) into 1/4-inch cubes
- Decorative red sugar sprinkles or crystals
- Hot water (Have your parent heat it up and pour it.)
- A cereal bowl
- A dinner plate
What you do:
Pour your instant oatmeal and 15 to 20 apple cubes into a bowl. Have a parent add a bit less hot water than usual so that the oatmeal is thicker than normal. Stir and let cool for five minutes.
Spread onto the plate in whatever barf pattern you’d like. Sprinkle a thin layer of red sugar here and there on the oatmeal. As it melts, lightly mix it into the oatmeal to add a pinkish tint to your breakfast barf! Bon appetit!
Nutty Banana Centipede A La Mode
Even giant desert centipedes aren’t as wild as this creepy dessert. In the end, it makes for a leggy banana split!
What you need:
- A banana
- Pretzel sticks
- Sliced almonds
- Peanut butter
- Lemon juice
- Ice cream
- Fudge topping
- A butter knife
- A dinner plate
What you do:
Peel the banana and lightly coat it with lemon juice to keep it from browning. Lay it flat on the plate. Cut it into 1-inch segments, keeping the pieces in order. Carefully smear peanut butter in between each piece and then push them together until the peanut butter squishes out a bit. This makes the centipede’s segments.
Pull the end thing from the bottom of the banana to form the centipede’s mouth. Stick in two pieces of almonds slices that still have the skin for the centipede’s eyes. On each segment, stick in one pretzel stick on each side for legs, making sure that most touch the plate (like it’s walking). Add almond slices to the body segments for decoration.
Put a scoop or two of ice cream next to your centipede and top with fudge sauce. Break out a spoon for a new taste treat!
Slime You Can Slurp!
Ooey, gooey, green and chewy—it’s slime you can eat! If you keep your hands clean, you can play with it and even eat the green stuff. You can use other food coloring colors, too.
What you need:
- 12- or 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 10–15 drops of food coloring
What you do:
Pour the condensed milk into a small saucepan. Stir in the tablespoon of cornstarch and cook over low heat. (Have an adult help you with this.) Stir CONSTANTLY. After the mixture thickens, remove from heat and add the drops of food coloring as you continue stirring.
Let cool before you start playing with or slurping up your slime!
