Food & Fun
Poetry Workshop
Think of a place you love to go. Imagine yourself there and answer these questions:
-
What do you touch?
-
What do you see?
-
What do you smell?
-
How do you feel?
Now use your answers to write a poem! It doesn’t have to rhyme. Draw pictures around the words to decorate it.
Check out this great poem by Madelaine H. from Utah, USA!
I swing so high to touch the sky,
To look within the clouds.
I travel to big cities.
I get lost in all the crowds.
Even though I’m on a swing,
In my own backyard—
To travel all around the world,
It’s never very hard!
Ice-Cream-Cone Cake Pops
Make an ice-cream cone that won’t melt! Be sure to get an adult’s help.
15 mini ice-cream cones
1 9x9-inch (23x23-cm) cake of your choice (already baked)
Frosting of your choice
Melted chocolate
Toppings like nuts, sprinkles, or small candies
-
In a big bowl, break the cake into small pieces. Add 1 cup of frosting. Mix it together until the cake is sticky but still crumbly.
-
Shape half of the cake mix into 15 balls. Place them on a tray lined with waxed paper and refrigerate for an hour. Meanwhile, fill the ice-cream cones with the rest of the cake mixture.
-
Use melted chocolate to “glue” the cake balls to the top of the cones. Refrigerate until completely set.
-
Dip cake pops in melted chocolate so the top is covered. Finally, add toppings and enjoy!
