"edible earth" is my kids FAVORITE project ever!

Post by Tree House Academy » Thu Sep 01, 2011 8:23 pm

We were having a ROUGH school day yesterday. Then, my older son came to the science project in RTR to make an edible earth. chocolate chip in the middle, pb/powdered sugar/honey rolled into a ball as the next layer...then dipped in chocolate and rolled in crushed graham cracker. It was a total day saver! My kids were IN LOVE! I had to make two more :lol: of the darn things and then, the rest of our day went beautifully!!

If there was a "Like" function on here I would've used it. I love when a fun project totally turns around your school day!

That sounds so yummy! I'm surprised you only had to make two more. :wink: I would probably have to make a dozen! :lol: I'm glad it revived your day. We always love the edible projects around here. :D

Those did taste soooooo good. I usually manage to "help" finish those projects out, so more is always appreciated by all! :lol: I'm so glad your kiddos enjoyed the edible earth, Rebecca. :D Have a great Labor Day weekend! :D

Those edible school projects are the best. The kids seem to remember them forever, or maybe it's the "teachers" who do. :lol: :lol: I don't love chocolate, but it even sounds good to me, after seeing the pic on week-in-review! :D
