remaining raisins into peanut

      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.

      Jello Aquarium Recipe

      1 pk Jello Berry BLUE jelly powder

      1 c Boiling water

      2 c Ice cubes

      Gummy fish

      thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove any unmelted ice. Spoon jelly

      into to clear sided bowls. Poke 3 or 4 gummy fish into each dish of
