Have a Milk Mustache Photo Contest!
Let your children be milk mustache stars!

1. Make the Milk Mustache mixture - a milkshake that leaves a great mustache on upper lips. All you need to do is blend 3 parts ice cream with 1 part milk until the desired consistency is reached. It's difficult to resist the urge to lick it off your lips, so make plenty!

2. Give each child some Milk Mustache mixture in a small cup.

3. Have them hold the cup up to their mouths and tip their cups back while keeping their heads still.

4. Make sure they keep their mouths closed as they "drink on their mustaches."

5. Take Polaroid® photos. Let children finish their Milk Mustache mixture after their photos are taken.

6. Have children write a caption about why they drink milk, and post pictures around the room.

My college nutrition students taught ths to Head Start teachers, so that they could then teach their children. It was fun, but the mixture was a bit thin, perhpas because we did not have blenders (is this required, if so, note that)? Also, a cup size would have been helpful - we tried 3oz (didn't work) and then did 5 oz, which was just about right for adults, but may have been too large for preschoolers.
