[Sca-cooks] feedback on page activity -- Mustard

[Yana]

Notes from a former craft teacher (of elementary school kids):

If using bread, have it cut up beforehand, so that you don't run out.

Providing pretzels or crackers might be more palatable for younger people 
trying out the mustard.  Less chance of spreading it on too thickly on 
bread and then choking on it (whether on purpose or not).

Use bamboo skewers or popsicle sticks (even better, no tempting sharp 
pointy end) instead of toothpicks (sturdier)

Give a suggestion for what type (size, estimated cost) of covered container 
to have for the kids to take home.  I regularly see cheap plastic 
containers that hold about 1/4 cup for about $1 for two.  Any ideas for 
cheaper substitutes?

Might be easier to just have one or two mortar/pestle sets and pass them 
around, letting the kids each have a go at grinding.  Same goes with coffee 
grinder.  Either way, having some previously-ground mustard would help 
chase off Murphy's Curse

Add to the list of supplies:
--mortars and pestles
--cups for the water
--trashbag (obvious, but...)
--spoons to dole out mustard to kids

What is best way to grind up raisins?

Hope this is all taken well, I'm just used to preparing for the worst (and 
best!) when working with kids (and adults, for that matter).
