Fun Food Ideas to Make with Your Kids
By Kendeyl Johansen
You'll need:
| 4 chocolate graham crackers | |
| Large plastic bag with zip-style closure | |
| 4 Styrofoam cups | |
| Ice cream scoop | |
| Vanilla ice cream | |
| Gummy worms |
Place graham crackers in plastic bag. Zip the bag closed. Have your kids pound the graham crackers with fists to make crumbs. (They'll love it!)
Scoop ice cream into Styrofoam cups, leaving half an inch on top. Place a layer of graham cracker crumbs over ice cream to create appearance of soil. Place gummy worms on top of soil.
Did the children like the Worm Dirt? "Yeeaaahhh!" raved Cassandra.
