The four Peterson kids love to play and have fun, but they can't think of anything to do when they have a day off from school-until they get creative. Being the oldest child, Sue takes command and tells siblings Mike, Annie and John to make concoctions in the kitchen. At stake is a grand prize, and Sue declares that she'll be the judge. Sue gives each of her siblings a mixing bowl and large wooden spoon. "Now, remember the rules, " she shouts with glee. "Come up with your own unique recipe! We don't measure the ingredients or taste the batter! Just tell me what you need - I'll get it in a flash!" What follows is spontaneous afternoon fun as the children ingeniously overcome their boredom. Afternoon Food Frolic provides a humorous perspective on child's play and shows that being creative is fun and exciting.
