Creating Sheep Out of Food Items

These posts were brought here from the old website. They are for non-readers (i.e. not sophisticated enough for elementary-age children).

Food Workshop where the children made edible sheep from twinkies, "snowballs", Ho-Ho's and Ding-Dongs (Whatever the Hostess Outlet store had at cheap prices!). We had pretzel sticks to use as legs, raisins for eyes, and gooey white frosting & coconut to use for wool.

We took photos of their sheep to see if they could recognize their sheep later. (Any "good" shepherd knows his own sheep!)They sat down and ate their creations while they learned what sheep were like (comparing them to their own experience with pets).

I saw an idea in a book about  “How to Make a Gumdrop Lamb and Shepherd”.

• Use marshmallows (Large & Small), pretzel sticks, and gumdrops. 
• Use the pretzel sticks for legs, arms, and necks.
• Use the marshmallows for the sheep's body and head.
• Use the gumdrops for the shepherd's body and head.

Or a combination of both, let the kids be creative.
