School food activities
Hi.......... If you haven't tried the Gingerbread People recipe in Lisa Lewis' book, _Special Diets for Special Kids_, I recommend it highly. When we met with Krista's Kindergarten teacher, she said that the kids will be doing food activities every Wednesday. The first week of school, they would get gingerbread cookie dough, and create gingerbread people, decorated with candy. I have been stressing the importance of the GFCF diet, and I sent a batch of the dough with Krista. This was the dough Krista used to create her Gingerbread People Blobs, which she decorated with raisins and gfcf red hot candy. This way Krista was able to participate fully in the activity. Next week, they are studying yellow rectangles, and the food activity includes crackers and cheese. They will eat rectangular crackers with a piece of yellow rectangular cheese on top of the cracker. Any ideas? Krista won't touch the fake cheeses at all. I need some kind of cracker (rectangular), and something to put on top of it (yellow). Thanks for your help......... ....Linda in Boise lindaj@...
