Apple-Nut Butter Teeth- Try this simple Halloween recipe!
Ingredients:
2 apples
handful of sliced or blanched almonds or raisins, cut in half or sunflower seeds
lemon juice (to help prevent turning brown), optional
your favorite nut or seed butter
Tools/equipment needed: 1 small knife
Directions
1. Cut each apple into 4 slices. Cut core from each wedge.
2. With a small knife, carve out a small wedge to make a top and bottom lip. Make sure not to cut too far because you want to make sure that the apple is still intact.
3. Place lemon juice in a bowl and brush onto each apple wedge (optional).
3. With a small knife, spread a small amount if nut or seed butter on the bottom “lip”.
4. Carefully and gently (to avoid “teeth” breaking), place the almonds/seeds/raisins into the top portion of the mouth until it sticks without holding it. The nut/seed butter also helps hold the “teeth” into place. Use your knife to carve out a little tiny hole if needed. Enjoy!
Makes 8 apple teeth. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Mask wearing is not always easy or fun, but it’s an important step to keep you and those around you safe. Whether you’re out in the community with your family or you returned to school for in-person learning, wearing a mask may be required. Below are some easy tips to encourage mask wearing and how make it fun:
- Decorate your mask using tie-dye or fabric markers or make your own at home using an old t-shirt or fabric with your favorite pattern. As always, make sure to get adult permission first.
- Clip a lanyard onto the ear strap. If you take your mask off, it’s now hanging around your neck as reminder to put it back on.
- Practice at home. Get your family involved in practicing mask wearing for a day. Make it a challenge – who can keep their mask on the longest?
- Be consistent in wearing your mask properly and not touching it while wearing it. The more you practice, the easier it gets.
In addition to wearing your mask over your nose and mouth, there are other important steps you should follow to keep yourself and those around you safe. These include:
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water is not readily available, use hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, mouth, and mask when wearing it.
- Maintain at least six feet of distance between you and another person.
- Stay home if you feel sick.
