In the tradition of my non-traditional classroom treats, I'm sharing the smores I will be taking to my son's class in about an hour in honor of his birthday. Like many other schools around the nation, our school has a ban on homemade food for class parties. We could launch into a discussion about whether that is a good idea or not, but for the meantime, I seek to satisfy my need for creativity with home-ASSEMBLED goods--not baked. Last year, it was the juice box birthday robots. The kids thought those were SO cool! For my daughter's birthday, I used donuts and twinkies to make the #10.
In keeping with his camping birthday theme, this year, I have assembled individual S'mores for the students. I designed a bag topper that reads, "Thank you for making my birthday S'MORE fun!" with my son's signature on it.
Don't worry! I'm sharing generic versions of the tags as printables below!
In order to serve smores with out the campfire, I bought the Kraft stackable marshmallows. It took two marshmallows to nicely cover the standard half graham cracker and half of a Hershey's bar. I'm not too worried about the chocolate melting. We are in Phoenix. The car ride to school is about the same as a campfire anyway, right?
HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

Very cool! I don't think our school would allow them still because it states they have to be "prepackaged" and I don't think this would count. :(
ReplyDeleteYou are insanely cool! Wish we could go camping with you :)
ReplyDeleteBest line I've read in a long time:
"The car ride to school is about the same as a campfire anyway, right?"
