Pumpkin Squares

Today Marcie and Jasmine's classes worked together to make...

Pumpkin Squares!

 

 

Before they started the teachers made sure they had all the ingredients together, everyone's hands were washed and explained to the children that they would need to follow the recipe.

 

 

Step 1. Mix together 1 tsp. pumpkin and 3 tbs. whipped topping.

 

Stir, stir, stir!



Step. 2 Spread the mixture onto the graham cracker.

 

Sneak a spoonful!

 

Step 3. Put the other half of the graham cracker on top to make a sandwich.

 

 

Step 4. Put the pumpkin squares into the freezer.

 

 

Step 5. Eat and enjoy the yummy pumpkin squares!

 

Such an easy recipe and so fun to make! If you have a child who is a picky eater the best way to get them to try new things is for them to help make their own food. Cooking is such a great hands on activity for children and helps them to explore new foods and practice following directions. It is a great language experience as they converse with their peers and teachers about what step comes next and what the food tastes like. It also helps foster their social skills by having them practice waiting for their turn and sharing with their peers all while using good manners and hygiene practices.
