Cooking+with+Kids+Recipes

Items needed: 1 paper plate per child, 1 pancake per child, tinted vanilla icing (brown, black, red, yellow) for the hair, twizzler strip, m&m's, triangular shaped crackers, cocoa puffs, etc. After students have created their edible face they will write about how they constructed it. Lead the students on a gallery walk to admire the edible art! Allow students to guess who's face belongs to which student. Allow students to share their drawing and writing. EAT! (While students are enjoying their creation, listen to the song "You Are Special!"
 * Culminating Cooking Activity for All About Me Unit**
 * Pancake Faces** Students will decorate a pancake face to look like them.
 * You can use whatever edible items you want to create the face.
 * Before making the faces I like to revisit the book __Chester's Way__ by Kevin Henkes and show a particular picture of the way Lily eats her toast.
 * Show students the items they will be using to create their face. The students will draw their face with crayons and label what parts will be made out of which type of food.
 * At the end of the day the students get out their drawings and make their face with the food items. They must use exactly what they have planned out in their drawing.
