Apple boats

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

Beavers make a healthy snack as part of the Health and Fitness badge.
(Can also use as one of the dishes for the Cook badge.)


Resources

Apples (half an apple per Beaver cut by Leader), cocktail sticks, peanut butter or spread cheese, rice crispies, triangles cut from cheese slices or strawberries halved.
Plates, teaspoons.

Instructions

Wash hands first, discussing how this is important when preparing food.
Choose ingredients considering allergies in your group.
Each Beaver to have half an apple on their plate.
Spread peanut butter or spread cheese on the flat side of the apple.
Stick rice crispies to the peanut butter/spread cheese.
Stick a cocktail stick in the middle.
Attach a cheese triangle/half a strawberry as the sail.
(If you have both nut and dairy allergies you could use honey to spread on. Remember to check the rice crispies for allergens.)

Once the Beavers have made the boats (see below) they should tell their Lodge/group which is their favourite ingredient and why it is healthy (may need help with the 'why' bit). This covers part 4 of the badge which is to promote healthy eating to others.
e.g. cheese - good for bones
apple/strawberry - fruit - 1 of the 5 a day, full of vitamins
peanut butter - protein
rice crispies - cereal to fill you up to start the day, lots of vitamins in cereal
