Kid Territory:Recipes: Noontime Newt Nuggets
Let me introduce
you to one of my favorite amphibians.
Newts are part of the salamander family. They look a little like tiny
alligators. Let's make newts for lunch!
Ingredients
|
Frozen fish sticks |
1 |
small bag of frozen french fries |
1 |
10-ounce package frozen green beans |
|
Ketchup |
|
Lettuce |
Cook the fish sticks, french fries, and green beans separately, following the directions on the packages. Now it's time to build your newt!
First, let's make our pond for the newt. Grab a large lettuce leaf—newts love a nice, damp habitat.
Now take your fish stick newt, add a french fry tail and green bean legs. Did you know some newts turn red when they are growing into adults? Add your ketchup and you'll have an eft (the middle stage of growth for a newt—a lot like a tadpole turning into a frog)! Enjoy your lunch!
