The preschoolers had a great time celebrating National Peanut
Butter Month. We read many different peanut butter stories. On
Thursday, November 29th the children took a try at making their own
peanut butter. We had class surveys to see which one they preferred
more...creamy or crunchy...creamy won in the morning class and
crunchy won in the afternoon. We learned that it takes a lot of
REAL peanuts to make peanut butter, but you do not need an elephant
(as was the case in one of our stories!). We took a sample of our
"peanut butter from scratch" to the cooks who were a little
hesitant, but decided to give it a try. What good sports! Our
recipe: A whole bunch of peanuts (more than 10), however much oil
they put in, push the button on the blender, and stand back!!!
