Firecracker
Sandwich
This is a great
idea for lunch or a snack. It can
be adapted in so many ways to meet your child’s dietary needs and tastes. When cooking with children, the more
that THEY can do, the better it will taste to them!
You will need:
flat bread, pita
bread, tortilla, or a slice of bread
* If using bread
remove the crust and roll flat with a rolling pin.
peanut butter and
jelly, cheese, sliced meat, roasted veggies – whatever!
plastic wrap and
ribbon (red, white, and blue if you have it)
Directions:
Wash your hands!
Spread the filling
on the bread.
Roll up the bread
nice and tight.
Place the rolled
sandwich on a piece of plastic wrap and roll.
Twist the ends and
tie on the ribbon.
Give yourself a
firecracker cheer. Place palms
together at your waist and move up above your head in a snake like motion as
you make a hissing sound like a firecracker shooting in the air, “Ssssss.” Clap your hands together over your head
to represent a firecracker going off.
Wiggle your fingers around and down like sparkles as you say, “Ahhhh!”

the firecracker and lots of other fun celebrations.
