| My prototype |
This next post isn't so much related to the CSA project, but is a fun activity I did with my students. In honor of the last day of speech and pending summer vacation, I came up with a cookie decorating activity to practice following directions and celebrate the year of hard work in speech.
The goal was to make cookies that look like watermelons. I used store-bought (Meijer brand) cookies and frosting, because it seemed like way too much work to make enough for 60 kids, but they would probably be even more delicious if they were homemade. I used red and green food coloring, added to vanilla frosting, so that I had pink, green, and white frosting. The watermelon seeds were chocolate-covered raisins. I found someone online that used chocolate-covered sunflower seeds, but that seemed just a tad too healthy. I had enough trouble getting the kids to eat chocolate with a raisin in it.
The kids loved it! We had some varying degrees of success in their ability to make the cookie look like a watermelon, but regardless, they had a sticky good time.
