A Fun Recipe For You.....
Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 8:00PM This recipe isn't glamorous....but it's oh so easy and a lot of fun!
It would be great for a kid's party!! I made it today with my class {6 & 7 year olds} and they had a lot of fun & shared many giggles :) We wrote up the recipe & analysed every detail of the genre of procedures, we discussed measurements & quantities and I explained what each ingredient was! We have been learning about insects & mini-beasts for 8 weeks now.....so I thought it would be a great wrap up and a bit of fun to make..........

- 250g block cream cheese (at room temperature)

Steps to Follow:
