Supplies
- Cookie sheet
- Butter knife
Directions
- Preheat oven to low heat (250 degrees).
- Spread tomato sauce onto each half of the bagel and place on cookie sheet.
- Encourage children to help sprinkle the mozzarella cheese onto the bagel to make two eyes and the cheddar cheese to make a mouth.
- Place two sliced olives in the mozzarella cheese to complete the eyes. Place a nose onto each bagel using thin slices of an orange pepper.
- Bake for 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven when the cheese is bubbly.
*Remember to keep children away from hot ovens and sharp cooking utensils. Parents handle the hot stuff, but preschoolers will be able to help spread the cheese and decorate Elmo’s face!
