Mexican Dinner

This play set is quick and easy to make. It can be finished in an evening.


Why not make real burritos for dinner the same night?

My favorite Mexican themed dinner is a whole wheat tortilla stuffed with black beans, corn, spinach, onions, and plain yogurt all with a generous dusting of chili powder. Yum!

 Chain 19, sc -18 st

They will curl but it just adds to the fun

 Assembly:

Roll up tortilla to size you would like them to be when finished. On opposite side from tail place and sew button. Create a loop from the tail, sew well and weave in end.

Let little ones fill and roll their own burritos.
Little fingers should not have much trouble buttoning the tortilla.
