An "Egg"cellent Idea! Submitted by Kim (luv2selldots)
Take a white crayon and have them draw pictures or write their names on a cooled hardboiled egg. Then dye them just like at easter time. When they get up from nap they have a wonderful snack.

Songs, Finger Plays & Nursery Rhymes

Elephant
Right foot, left foot, see me go.
Put weight on one foot, then the other, swaying from side to side.
I am gray and big and very slow.
When I come walking down the street
I bring my trunk and four big feet.
Extend arms together in front and swing like a trunk.

Recipes
Cheesy Scrambled Egg Submtted by Linda (lindafh)
Makes 4 servings (1/2 english muffin each)
1 tblsp margarine
4 eggs
2 tblsp. processed cheese spread or cream cheese
2 english muffins, halved and toasted
4 process cheese food slices Deviled Egg Boats Submtted by Linda (lindafh)
hard boiled eggs (one whole per child), cooled
mayo type dressing
1/2 to 1 tsp. mustard (depending on your taste)
salt & pepper
Small Crackers (one per egg half)

Chill hard boiled eggs. Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out yolk and place in small bowl. Place egg white halves on a plate. Mix together the yolks, dressing, mustard, salt & pepper (to taste)....blending well. (The mustard is there to put in a little color...but if you prefer to taste the "zing"...then adjust for your own taste!) Spoon the yolk mixture back into the hole of the egg white. Stick a square cracker, point down, into the yolk mixture for a sail.

Note: You could also use a pretzel stick and a cheese slice cut into triangles as a sail!.

English Muffin Pizzas Submtted by Linda (lindafh)
8 english muffin halves
1 tsp of pizza sauce per half
toppings: pepperoni, pineapple, salami, bacon, vegies, ......your choice!
shredded mozzarella cheese (try cheddar or swiss or ???)

Place 1 tsp. of pizza sauce on each muffin half. Add toppings and cheese. Place in a 350o oven just until cheese melts. About 5 minutes. These are fun to make...the kids love to help! We build a face on ours on top of the cheese with cut up toppings - that way the kids recognize their own creations - when they come out of the oven!
