GRILLED CHEESE PEOPLE

1. Cut slices of bread into circles with a round cookie cutter.

2. Top with circles of cheese.

4. Place them on a cookie sheet.

5. Add bacon-bit eyes, noses, and buttons.

6. Broil until the cheese melts.

7. Place one cheesy person on each plate.

8. Add carrot and celery stick arms and legs.




GLOWING MOON ROCKS

Collect some smooth rocks from outside and help your children decorate them with flourescent tempora paint and glow-in-the-dark stickers.

When the rocks are dry, hide them around the house, turn off some lights, and send your children on a night-time moon-rock hunt.
