Humor Break: Naptime?

Easy Oreo Penguins

These cute and easy penguins are perfect for a class party, family or church gathering.  

What you'll need:

• Oreos 
• Mini-Oreos or Bite Sized Oreos (for the head)
• Fruit roll-ups (for the scarf)
• Orange Tick-tacks (for the beak)
• Round Sprinkles (the ones here are called "Edible Confetti" but really any round cake sprinkle will do for the eyes)
• White frosting

Before:

• Take several quart sized freezer bags and put several spoon fulls of frosting in each one.  Cut a tiny piece of one corner to make a several frosting dispensers (so easy, you just throw the whole bag away when you're done).  
• Unrolled the Fruit Roll-ups and cut them with clean scissors into thin strips, leaving the plastic backing in place. 
• Put all the various ingredients into bowls. 

Instructions

• Take one Oreo and unscrew it.  The half that got the cream will be your main body. The half without the cream will become the wings. 
• Break the cookie without the cream in half. These are your wings.  
• Using the cream as glue, press the wings down firmly into place, taking care not to break the cookie.
• Take a mini-Oreo and unscrew it.  We are going to use the half that got the cream, discard/eat the other half.   
• Cream side down, press the mini-Oreo into place as the head. Cream to cream should 'glue' it into place.
• With frosting, make dots for eyes and beak.
• Place round sprinkles for eyes, and a Tick-Tac for the beak. 
• Select a scarf and peal of the plastic backing.  Wrap the scarf around the penguin.

Here are some my daughter's 5th grade class made.

It isn't unusual for my daughter to doodle on her papers, but it is unusual for her to have a teacher doodle back.
