Article: Use your favorite type of bread, such as white bread, sourdough, whole grain, or rye. Keep in mind that thicker slices of bread will hold up better when you dunk them into the dippy egg. If you're making the dippy eggs and toast for kids, they might want you to cut the crusts off of the bread. Adjust the setting on your toaster and push down on the lever. Heat the bread until each slice is golden brown on each side. If you don't have a toaster, use your oven or broiler to toast the bread slices. Remove the toast and spread as much butter on them as you like. Then, take a sharp knife and carefully cut each slice into long strips that are 1 inch (2.5cm) wide. For a more filling meal, make a grilled cheese sandwich and slice it into strips for dunking. Poke a strip of the toast into the egg yolk and eat it. Keep dipping strips into the egg until you've finished the dippy egg. If you'd like, you can use a spoon to scoop out the rest of the egg once you've finished the toast strips. Enjoy the dippy eggs with toast right away since the toast will become soft as it sits.

Put 2 slices of bread into the toaster. Toast the bread slices until they're golden brown. Spread butter over the slices and cut them into 1 inch (2.5cm) strips. Dip the toast strips into the dippy egg.
Article: Reach out to the new kid first. They might feel nervous or anxious about reaching out to other students, whether it's for friendship or to get help. By being the first to talk to them, you're letting them know there's nothing to worry about. Be positive when talking to them and be kind. Try to greet them early in the school day. This gives you a chance to get to know them and help them out throughout the day. Introduce yourself by name and make them feel welcome. For example, you can say: "Hi! My name's Lucy! I'm so happy to meet you. What's your name?" Learn a little about them by asking questions. Show that you're interested in them and want to learn more. Asking about their interests will help you see if you have any points in common with them. You'll also be able to suggest extracurricular activities for them, or even set them up with future friends. Do this outside of class during break or lunch so that you don't get them in trouble with their teachers. Ask them what activities they were involved with at their old school. This will help guide them towards activities they can do at their new school. Don't be afraid to go into your own interests as well. This can help develop a bond with the new kid, especially if you have interests in common. It also gives you a chance to suggest after-school activities for them to try. Tell them something about yourself to help them remember you and give them idea of your interests. For example, say: "I play trombone in the school band." Let them know about any activities you do outside of school the day before. This way, you can invite them to come with you.

Greet them warmly. Find out more about them. Talk just a little about yourself.
Article: If you can sense that your friend does not want to talk about something, turn the conversation back to the activity you originally planned, or suggest a new activity. It is not your job to be funny or interesting. Experts say that the conversations that people find the most interesting are the ones where they are able to talk about their own interests the most. All you have to do is ask your friend about what interests them, and listen carefully, so you can ask follow-up questions. If your activities don't work out, suggest something that you usually like to do. If all else fails, take a walk or get food. Don't let changes ruin the visit. Remember that some of the best visits are not centered around an activity at all. Activities are really just an excuse to hang out and talk. If the two of you are having a good time without doing the activity, don't rush into doing it. If the conversation ever runs out, the activity will be a good way to break the silence. Don't expect to be best friends as soon as the visit is over. Just be confident in the fact that you were able to successfully ask someone over, and keep doing it until it becomes second nature.

Don't let a moment of awkwardness ruin the visit. Be flexible and spontaneous. Remember that some friendships take time to grow.
