Give each child a slice of bread.
Have the children first put "bedspreads" on their
"beds" using peanut butter, cream cheese, or butter. Then
have the put "bugs" on the beds using small edibles, such as
raisins, nuts, cereal bits, or cut-up fruits or vegetables. Use this
project for counting practice by having the children count the number of
bugs they put on the bread. Pit or pocket bread will work well for
this cooking project, too.
