Instructions

1. Read The Runaway Latkes to the children.
2. Draw a large circle onto each sheet of brown paper (brown paper bags work
well) and give one to each child.
3. Help the children cut out their circles (latkes) and glue them onto a sheet of
white paper.
4. Ask each child where he thinks the runaway latke would go. Write his words
underneath his latke.
5. Punch holes in the sides of the papers and use string to bind them together
into your own "Runaway Latkes" book.
