Thursday: Read the Feast Cards

Oliver the Owl pins up two cards. One is a fruit water pitcher. One is blank.

"The blank card is for your feast dish," he says.

"What do you notice on the fruit water card?" Ferris asks.

Riley holds up an orange. "Here is a hint," he says. "Who does the slicing?"

A drink for the feast

Water is a great drink with meals and snacks.

Fruit slices in a pitcher make the water look like a feast.

Recipe: Fruit Water Pitcher
Makes: 4 glasses.
Ingredients:
4 cups of cold water
1/2 cup of strawberries
1/2 cucumber
1 orange
Allergy swap: Fruit allergies happen too. Use any fruit your family can eat, or serve plain water.
  1. You: Wash your hands with all five steps.
  2. You: Rinse the strawberries, cucumber and orange under running water.
  3. Grown-up: Slice the strawberries, cucumber and orange with a knife.
  4. You: Measure 4 cups of cold water at eye level. Pour it into a pitcher.
  5. You: Drop in the fruit slices and stir.
  6. Everyone: Pour a glass and taste!
Safety first
A grown-up handles the knife and does all the slicing.
