How to Make a Sammidge. By Mumble.

I am “Mumble”.  I am four.  I was three for a long time but now I’m big and four.  My number is 4.

 

I can make my own sammidge all by my own self.  I’m a big girl now.  And I want to talk all about it.  On the ‘Pooter.  To Allbody.  You can make a sammidge too if you’re a big girl.  Or a big boy.  Or a Mummy.  Or a Daddy. Maybe.  Daddy’s are better at porridge than sammidges sometimes.

1 You need to get the things to make the sammidge first. Things for sammidges are in the kitchen.  Sometimes in the fridge.  Sometimes on the side. You have to choose what things to put on your sammidge.  You might need to use a chair so you can reach. And make sure the things aren’t yakky.  Like stinky onions.

I’m having cucumber, lettuce, cheese and butter on my sammidge.  But not stinky onions cos they’re yakky. And a knife to cut things.

2 You need two slices of bread.  One… Two.  Like that. We have orange bread. It’s orange bread because it comes in an orange packet.

3 You have to cut everything up except the bread.  You don’t cut the bread up unless you’re a baby.  Only babies have cut up bread, and I’m a big girl. I asked my Mummy to cut four slices of cucumber cos I tried and it was too hard for my knife. My mummy’s knife is sharp.  I’m too little to be allowed a sharp knife. Allbody needs help sometimes. 

4 Put the cucumber on the bread like a smiley face. Like that. *demonstrates by grinning*

5 Now you put the butter on to make ears.

6 I forgot to say about the lettuce.  Eat one of the cucumber and trade it for lettuce.

7 Now you have to cut up the cheese.

In thin slices like this:

Or you could get a red cheese (babybel) and use that. Then you don’t need to cut it up. Magic!

8 Put the cheese on the face to make teeth. All the best smiley faces have teeth.

9 put the other bread on the top. 

10 be very careful and spread the butter on the top of the bread.  Don’t turn it over, cos that would make it taste wrong.

Remember to put the things you don’t need in the kitchen again.  Otherwise they’ll get lost.  Or go yakky.  If they get lost or yakky you can’t make a sammidge until you’ve been to the shops. But the knife goes in the sink, so you can wash it when we do the pots.

Tada! Now you can eat your sammidge!
