Kids will LOVE this craft while you are making breakfast. I used to do this with my son when he was little and now that he’s 10 I wasn’t sure if it would be a cool thing to do especially when he had 2 friends over for a sleepover. Turns out they said it was so cool and wanted to do more. You can serve it up as toast for breakfast or have them paint some bread and make grilled cheese out of it too. Such a fun thing to do for the whole family!
