After a hard day examining and dissecting worms, why not put your feet up and snack on a few? Here is a really cute idea that can be used to celebrate Earth Day or to accent a thematic learning experience. Kids use clay pots, gummy worms, cookies, and pudding to create tiny worm habitats that you can eat. The recipe can also be used to expose children to sequential thinking or procedural texts.

Pros

  • A great way to help little ones learn how to follow directions 
  • Recipes can be used to promote executive function in learners with autism

Cons

  • It would be a good idea to get parent permission prior to serving this to your class since it contains a lot of sugar and all of the ingredients are processed
