Be Safe and Healthy: Plan for Emergencies
As a parent and caregiver, one of the jobs you do best is keeping your family healthy
and safe. If you are like many people, some issues can feel overwhelming, like
thinking about emergencies or disasters.
Early Head Start staff are here to help you plan, prepare, and recover if there is an
emergency. This is why we share with you our plans for what we would do and how
we would communicate with you if an emergency happens.
One of the most important things you can do for us is to always make sure we have
your current emergency contact information. This is key for helping us communicate
with you about any emergencies. It helps us share important information that will
help us keep your child safe.
If any of your contact information has changed (Did you get a new job? Change your
phone number? Move to a new location?), let us know, and we will update our
records.
We are also here to suggest material you may need for your own emergency plans
and supply kits.

TURKEY KRISPIES
TREATS
(Makes approximately ten turkeys, depending
on the size of the balls)
3 T. Butter
1/2 t. vanilla extract
5 1/2 c. mini marshmallows
6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
candy corns and edible googly eyes for
decoration
Chocolate Butter cream Frosting
Instructions:
Make a half batch of Chocolate Butter
Cream Frosting, or just use the frosting
from the container. Set aside. In a
large stock pan, melt butter on medium
heat. Add vanilla extract and marshmallows. Stir until marshmallows are
melted completely. Add cereal and stir
until completely combined. Turn off
heat and let sit for a few minutes, until
cool enough to handle.
When mixture is cool enough, spray
your hands with cooking spray or coat
them with butter and form cereal mix
into balls. Dip the tips of five candy
corns in the frosting, then insert around
the balls for feathers. Using frosting
will ensure a strong bond. Dip candy
eyes into frosting, then push onto front
of the balls. Dip the end of a candy
corn in frosting and insert just below the
eyes for a beak.
