Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 min.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fruit jam
  • Bread or matzoh
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • Honey (optional)

Supplies

  • Plastic squeeze bottle
Tip: Be sure to use jam and not preserves for this recipe. Jam works much better with the squeeze bottle.

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Help kids measure out the jam into a heat-proof bowl. Microwave on high power for about 40 seconds and carefully remove the bowl--it may be very hot! Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Spoon the jam into a squeeze bottle.

  3. Step 3

    Kids can spread bread with the peanut butter. This may be easier if the bread is toasted.

  4. Step 4

    Let kids draw designs on top of their bread with the jam and honey. For fun, have them start a picture and see if you can guess what it is.

Tip: Some kids may want to spread peanut butter on the bread themselves. It's a little easier for kids to do the spreading if you toast the bread first.
