During this video, Ashley demonstrates how to make animal face toasts from a variety of ingredients. This is a fun nutrition activity for young children to get creative and have a healthy snack. We will be demonstrating how to make an owl, fox, and a bear face. Ingredients include 100% whole wheat bread, low fat cream cheese, one banana, sliced strawberries, and blueberries. Before we start, be sure to wash your hands with soap and water then use a strainer to wash the strawberries and blueberries.
Steps for the owl toast:
Lightly toast the bread, bagel, english muffin, etc. Wash your strawberries and blueberries. Cut up a strawberry and banana into thin slices. Spread the cream cheese over the toast. Place 5 banana slices in a v shape (2, 2 and 1) leaving a space between the top two slices. On the top two banana slices place blueberries for the owl's eyes. Using a strawberry, cut a little triangle and place in the center of the eyes. Place two strawberry slices on the outside under the eyes to make wings. Fill the rest in with more strawberry slice "feathers".
Steps for the bear toast:
Lightly toast the bread, bagel, english muffin, etc. Wash your blueberries. Cut up a banana into slices.Spread the peanut butter across the toast. Place two blueberries spaced apart on the upper middle portion of the toast. Place two banana slices above these along the edge of the toast. Place another banana slice in the center of the blueberry "eyes" near the bottom of the toast. Place a blueberry on top of the banana slice to finish.
Steps for the fox toast:
Lightly toast the bread, bagel, english muffin, etc. Wash your strawberries and blueberries. Slice a strawberry and a banana. Spread cream cheese over the toast. In the top middle of the toast, use the peanut butter to make a V triangle, leaving some space along each side. Place a strawberry slice on each side left empty for ears. Below the ears, place two banana slices on each side and put a blueberry on each. Near the bottom place a blueberry in the middle of the V for a nose to complete the fox.
