Today is Peanut Butter lovers day! They seem to have a day for everything, but that is good, it creates ideas for some fun lesson plans.

Discover how peanut butter (or any nut butter) is made, a good science lesson plan. Use peanut butter in a recipe to make something, a great math lesson plan. Make a craft using peanut butter, fill a pine cone with the nut butter and roll it in bird seed, this is a great bird feeder and can inspire a nature lesson plan. The peanut itself can be used as a manipulative (you can fake ones or even ones that are erasers if there are allergies). Or talk about elephants, do they really eat peanuts? The peanut is protected by a shell, what other plants have protectors around them, why?

So many ideas can be spawned from one special, albeit strange, day!
