Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Banana Boat Snack
banana
peanut butter
raisins
wooden skewer or toothpick
construction paper
Slice a small piece off the bottom of a banana and lay it on a plate so that the bottom you cut off is flat and touching the plate and the "ends" of the banana are pointing up. Spread peanut butter on the top of the banana, and then place raisins on the peanut butter. (These are the sailors). Make a small triangular flag from construction paper and write "S.S. ________ (your child's name)" on it, thread it through a wooden skewer or toothpick, and stick the skewer into the banana. Tip: You may also want to pour some chocolate syrup around the "boat" to create "water".
