For my first post, I chose something I have made pretty recently. Since I didn't have a blog yet, I didn't take step-by-step photos while making them.
For my daughter's 6th birthday, I made Flower Pot Dirt Dessert cups for her snack to share at school. All it takes is chocolate pudding, whipped topping, Oreos, gummy worms, green spoons, pipe cleaners, and some cups that can double as flower pots. I used the recipe from Kraft, but then modified it some. I made the instant chocolate pudding according to package directions and mixed in the Cool Whip and crushed Oreos, but I used more pudding and Oreos to make darker "dirt". Top with more crushed Oreos and then put in a gummy worm or two.
I used cups that I bought 10 for $1 at a dollar store. You could use anything that looks remotely flower-pot-ish. I found green plastic spoons at a party store and topped them with a flower made from pipe cleaners.
I realize that many schools don't allow homemade treats, but luckily, my daughter's school still does.
Good luck and enjoy!
UPDATE: Here are the instructions on how I made the flower spoons.
I bought green spoons at a party store and pipe cleaners (aka fuzzy sticks) at WalMart or Target.

Thank you for the kind comments!
DeleteJust stumbled upon this and I'm going to try it! My daughter has her 3 1/2 birthday party coming up (Christmas baby so we celebrate mid-year) and we're going with the theme of 'Grow'. I love that the spoon-flower is a (necessary) integration of the whole thing. Cool idea!
ReplyDeleteWe have made it several times and it is always a hit with kids and adults. I hope everyone loves it!
DeleteIt was a hit! I used whipping cream and pre-made pudding. The worms of course was the fave :D
DeleteThe worm is always the favorite! I'm glad it went well for you.

how did you make the pipe cleaner spoon flowers?
ReplyDeleteI had been meaning to add that to the post for years. Thanks for the nudge. Please see the updated post for flower spoon making instructions.
DeleteGreat idea! I am studying "the garden" with my kindergarteners, and next week we are studying "earth worms" and how they benefit gardens. This will work perfectly for a fun activity just before Snack Time!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Have fun with it. My first consumers of this treat were a classroom full of kindergarteners and first graders. They looooooooved it. I hope yours will too.
DeleteThanks! I'm going to make today for my daughter's class! I have a gardening with kids blog at www.laceydrussell.com
