Evan's class has been studying Indians and his teacher assigned a fun project for them. They were each assigned a different group of Indians and had to make display of their living environment. The catch was that the display had to be edible. How fun!
He was assigned the Plains Indians and said that he needed dirt, a tee pee, a fire and some bushes. We went off to the grocery store to get supplies. This is how it all came together and what he used:
Ground: chocolate icing
Tee Pee: Pizza sticks, peanut butter and a fruit roll up
Fire: Candy Corn
Bushes: Pieces of a cereal bar covered with green icing and dots of red icing for berries.
He didn't like my idea of using carrots for the fire or incorporating any vegetables. I also thought that broccoli would make some great bushes, but he would have none of that either. That's my picky eater with a sweet tooth for you...it had to be all sugar!
All the supplies and ready to go.
Spreading the chocolate ground.
Ground and base of the tee pee.
Putting icing on a bush.
The completed project!
Evan came home with an almost empty container this afternoon. Each child in the class got a spoon and was able to take a bite out of the display. Evan said he got to eat the tee pee. He also said that his teacher gave him an "A" on his project. Way to go Evan!
