Holly’s Hard Boiled Egg Men

Ingredients:

A few raisins, one celery, one carrot, one red pepper, two toothpicks, and two hard boiled eggs.

Boil a couple of eggs peel and set aside.

You will need four raisins, 8 celery sticks cut very small and thin, two small carrot pieces and two very small red pepper pieces.

Now you and your child assemble your hard boiled egg man. Use raisins for eyes securing them with an end of a toothpick, cut little celery pieces for arms and legs and stick into the egg, next take a little carrot stick for a nose and place in egg and lastly use a small piece of toothpick to put small sliver of red pepper for lips.

Use different veggies and fruit for a different egg man each time! Be sure and eat the egg man with your child so they don’t eat the toothpicks.

Mealtime can be healthy and fun!

Movie pic of the week

Movie pic of the week is Anne of Green Gables.

Many of you may have seen this movie but I encourage you to rent the one with Megan Follows.

There are wonderful pieces to the movie that look at transitioning and attachment and what a child goes through when adjusting to their new family.
