Springtime Tea Sandwiches

Leave Me Alone! By Vera Brosgol
​

Spring is an excellent time of year for tea sandwich picnics and reading outside. Leave Me Alone! by Vera Brosgol has fun illustrations and a loving but grumpy main character, Old Woman. Join Old Woman’s tasty Russian tea party with your own sandwiches, and some apple cider on the side. We often buy bread from our favorite bakery to make lox and cream cheese sandwiches, but you can use a variety of tasty springtime ingredients.

Old Woman wants to find a place of solitude to work on her knitting, but grandchildren, aliens, and goats keep trying to eat her knitting balls instead! After your picnic, spend your afternoon as a goat, snacking on sticky granola knitting balls.
