Peabody's favourite! Let's make toast that looks right back at you. Hoo hoo! This easy recipe is for ages 5 to 10 (grades K–4th), takes about 12 minutes and serves 2. Crumb, our tiny chef, reads every step aloud with a picture, so a child can follow along, and every hot or sharp step is marked for a grown-up.

• Read the label on packets for allergies.

Kitchen science

An owl's big round eyes face forward, which helps it see in the dark and judge how far away things are.

Make it your own

• Use a thin cucumber slice for each eye and a raisin in the middle.
• Make the beak from a bit of carrot.
• Make an owl family: a big owl on a whole slice and little owls on crackers.
