🧸 Teddy Bear Toast

Teddy Bear Toast for kids: the whole recipe

A teddy bear for breakfast! Let's give toast a banana face. This easy recipe is for ages 5 to 10 (grades K–4th), takes about 10 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.

Ingredients

• 2 slices of bread (or gluten-free bread)
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or sunflower seed butter)
• 1 banana
• 1 handful blueberries

Tools

A toaster (grown-up), A butter knife, A plate.

Steps

1. Wash your hands with soap for twenty seconds.
2. Grown-up step: A grown-up toasts 2 slices of bread until golden.
3. Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter over the toast with a butter knife.
4. Slice 1 banana into coins with a butter knife.
5. Press a banana coin on each top corner for ears.
6. Press one bigger coin low in the middle for the snout.
7. Press on three blueberries: two eyes and a nose!
8. Say hello to your bear. Look, it's smiling!

Safety notes

• Hot! A grown-up does this part.
• Contains peanuts, wheat. Tap "Allergies?" on the Kitchen's front page and the swaps fill themselves in where there is one.
• Spread peanut butter thin for little ones: a big lump can choke.
• Squash blueberries a little for little ones under 4.
• Read the label on packets for allergies.

Kitchen science

A banana is a tube, and a slice across a tube is always a circle. That's why banana coins are the perfect round ears and snout.

Make it your own

• Use a strawberry slice for a smile under the nose.
• Make a polar bear with cream cheese and a banana snout.
• Make a bear on a rice cake or a round cracker.
