Program
Possibility: Pancakes and Pigs
Submitted
by Andrea Gertz, Winona State University
In honor
of National Pancake Week I was just going to make pancakes for my residents.
Instead, I read them the book "If You Give a Pig a Pancake."
Then, we made origami pigs. I also made chocolate chip pancakes. This
program can be done for less than $20.
I bought
generic pancake mix, syrup, chocolate chips, butter, plates, and forks.
I recommend getting a mix in which all you have to add is water. Chocolate
chips are optional, but recommended.
The pigs
are very simple.
You'll
need: Pink paper, scissors, black marker. Optional: googley eyes
& glue
Directions:
Fold a
square piece of paper in half corner to corner (forming a triangle)
Fold the
two points of the triangle so they meet at the third (forming a diamond)
Cut a
half circle from one corner where the flaps meet to the other
Fold the
flaps back (forming ears)
Fold the
curve up (forming the snout)
Add eyes
- googley ones are recommended - dots for the nostrils
Poke a
hole at the top and put string through.
The only
catch to it all was the pancakes came last & they had to make a
pig first. Overall, everyone loved the pancakes and had fun making the
pigs.
