How to Make Popcorn (For Kids)

     We all have those cravings for the buttery, salty popcorn you can reach your hand into at the movie theater. The giant tub of fluffy yellow popcorn disappearing as your belly becomes full. These days, the same taste can be achieved at home. Although this is not the most nutritious, it is certainly a delicious snack that every child loves. With just a few simple steps, this snack could be yours without stepping foot into a movie theater.

What you will need:

•        A bag a microwavable popcorn, movie theater flavor
•       A microwave
•       A big bowl

1.     Take the plastic wrap off of the popcorn package.

2.     Unfold the popcorn bag, so it has three sections, a middle section, and two flaps that look like wings.

3.     Place the bag in the microwave, the middle flat section facing down in the microwave, with the flaps pointing upwards.

4.     Close the microwave

5.     Press the button on the microwave that says “popcorn”

6.     Stand back and wait for the timer to go off.

7.     Open the microwave

8.     CAREFULLY pick up the bag by the corner, it might be hot!

9.     Take one corner of the top of the bag between your thumb and your pointer finger, and the corner diagonal on the top of the bag with your other thumb and pointer finger, and pull slowly in opposite directions so the bag opens.

10. Pour the popcorn into a big bowl. Wait a few minutes so the popcorn can cool.

11. Enjoy!
