"Said Mr. Peanut, in a flutter,
"I quite forgot to salt the butter;"
The little Peanut children said:
"Why then, Mama, we'll salt the bread."

Assemble a mini doll sized book: Right, is the peanuts's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the vegetable illustrations and verse from "Mother Earth's Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.
More About Peanuts:
The Peanut Princess
''I wish a fairy godmother would, come and make a Cinderella's coach for us out of this squash'' said the baby one day.
''We can be our own fairy god-mother'' said little Florence, as she set to work to make the wish come true. Soon there stood before them a wonderful coach made of that very squash drawn by handsome peanut horses and in it rode a beautiful peanut Princess.
A hairpin was the axle which held the pasteboard wheels in place.
The Princess was to drive straight to Lady Hollyhock's, where the footman would assist her in leaving the carriage. You, too, can be your own fairy godmother, and if you wish have a great ball, at which all of Lady Hollyhock's visitors may appear, not through the touch of a wand, but through the touch of the hand - and all of them will be so real that they will not fade away when the Princess goes.
Would it not be best, after all, for every one of us to be our own fairy godmothers, so that when we want very much to have anything happen we can set things going to bring it about? Then the things wished for will not vanish away at the stroke of a clock, but will be ours always. " Margret Walker.

Craft The Thanksgiving Peanut People
What could be more fun than to turn peanuts into Puritans at Thanksgiving Time? You will need needle and thread to sew the clothes and ink to draw the features. A thimble will jut fit on the Puritan's head and a circle cut from paper with a hole the the middle of it will make the brim of his hat.

Above, the Puritan looks so stern! Prudence Peanut's dress is made of scraps of cloth and so is her baby's dress. The native's hair is of braided black yarn held on his head with a tiny paper band. Hunt till you find a peanut with the stem left on in the shape of a peanut puppy too. Can you think of other peanut people to join this little family?
