How Can Kids Help with this Project?

• Let them spread the cream cheese over the toast after it has cooled from being in the toaster.
• While an adult should do the cutting, kids can place the blueberries or strawberry slices into place to make them the stars and stripes on the toast.

Ingredients:

1. Bread
2. Cream cheese
3. Blueberries
4. Strawberries

What Can I Substitute if my Kid Doesn’t Like Cream Cheese?

• You could also try using vanilla yogurt in place of cream cheese.
• You can use red jelly or jam on the toast and white banana strips (to be the red and white part of the flag) in place of the cream cheese and strawberries.

Making Your Flag Toast:

• Toast your bread.
• Tip: Toasted bread works better than untoasted since it keeps the bread flat under the weight of all the toppings.
• Spread a layer of cream cheese over the toast.

• Make a square or rectangle of blueberries in the upper left corner to be the blue part of the flag.

• Cut strawberries into strips and halve lengthwise to make long pieces of strawberries to make red stripes on the rest of the flag.
• Now your toast is ready to eat!
