Edible Snowman
Ingredients: Melt butter and bag of marshmallows in large pot. Add just enough popped popcorn so that the popcorn is well covered in goo! Let cool enough to handle. Shape three balls from the popcorn mixture (one large, one medium, and one small), then put together to form a snowman. Use chocolate chips, sprinkles, candy cane, silver balls, marshmallows, M&M's, etc., to decorate. Refrigerate for an hour before eating. Don't forget to take a picture first!!! ~Submitted by Becce in Missouri |
Popcorn Snowmen
This activity involves motor skills and the concept of larger and smaller while also helping to distinguish body parts.
Ingredients: Popcorn, marshmallows, butter, raisins (for the eyes and buttons), and gumdrops (for the hat).
Pop the popcorn and melt the butter and marshmallows (just as you would for making rice krispie treats). Once the butter and marshmallows are melted pour the mixture over the popcorn and mix well. After the mixture has cooled, have the children take two handfuls of the mixture, one smaller than the other. Have the children shape them into balls and place the smaller ball on top of the larger one, Then they decorate their snowmen with the raisins and gumdrops. Use wax paper toput the snowmen on. Most children will love the sticky texture and the smell!

Cooking Activity: Flavored Ice
Add two or three ice cubes to water in a blender. Help childre create "snow" by having them turn the blender on and off until a snow consistency results. I have found that if I do all the blending first before the children are actually in class it works better. I used REAL snow one year never got in any trouble from any of the parents or kids, but a teacher down the hall gave me some BEEF about it, so I decided not to do it again! Have the children scoop the "snow" into a paper cup and pour juice concentrate over it. One year I just froze some Hi-C until it was like a slush and had that with the kids.
