PEANUT BUTTER an old fashioned hand food grinder or an electric blender peanuts in the shell vegetable oil salt Have the children shell peanuts. Younger children may need to have their peanuts pre-cracked. Depending on how much peanut butter you want to make and how prolific the shellers are, the teacher may have to pitch in and shell some also. Save the shells. While the shelling is going on, sing some peanut songs: *BLKLIN The peanut sat on the railroad track Her heart was all a flutter. The nine fifteen came speeding by And now she's peanut butter. *BLKLIN Look away, toot toot Look away, toot toot Look away, my fair young friend For I'm going to Louisiana for to see my fair Susannah Singing polly wolly doodle all the day. *BLKLIN To the tune of "I'm A Little Teapot" *BLKLIN I'm a little peanut, brown and round To get me open, you have to pound When I crack open you can say "Hello, Mr. Peanut, how are you today." *BLKLIN If you are lucky enough to have a food grinder, as the peanuts are being shelled, they can be ground. Have the kids turn the crank. Here's another song to sing: *BLKLIN Crunch, crunch, crunch the nuts Watch them turn to moosh. Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly Give the crank a push. *BLKLIN Add just enough oil to the ground peanuts to obtain a "spreadable" consistency. Add a little salt, if desired. Spread peanut butter on crackers and eat! Using an electric blender isn't nearly as much fun, but is better than nothing. Place all the peanuts in the blender and turn on. Add enough oil and salt (if desired) to obtain a "spreadable" consistency. Spread on crackers and eat! Add the peanut shells to your collage collection.
