Dirt dessert



Today may be one of those days when the kids are home all day. It doesn’t always have to be difficult to find a fun project that your kids will love to do. Today they can do a fun project and eat it too. Dirt dessert is a very fun tasty treat that your kids will be sure to enjoy. All you need for this fun project and delicious treat is:

·        cold milk

·        Instant chocolate pudding

·        Crushed Oreos

·        gummy worms

·        Cool Whip

This is a very quick project and should only take about 15 minutes. Children can be very involved in making this snack. The instructions are very easy to follow, just:

1.      Fill up about 1/3 of a cup with pudding

2.      Add a small amount of crushed Oreos

3.      Add a little Cool Whip to the mix

4.      Add some crushed Oreos for another layer

5.      Top with gummy worms.

You treat is done in an instant. This project is more likely good for children three and up, gummy worms are hard for babies and young toddlers to chew and digest.  Children usually love this because they get to use their imagination and pretend like their eating dirt and worms, of course! I made this recipe with my nephew and he loved it.

"This was fun, and I got to spend a lot of time with my Tee Tee so I am very happy,” Ja‘Von, 7, said.

As far as the clean up part was very easy as well although I would highly recommend this project is done, and eaten in the kitchen. Just use a wet warm towel for easy cleaning. My mother did this project when she was a preschool teacher. Although I have told you the recipe there is no right way to make dirt dessert. Just make sure you and your youngster have fun doing this project together.
