Program Description

Event Details

Create Edible Soil by Making Food with Layers

Dig deep for some edible, dirt-loving fun! Children will eat up this delicious activity that uses food with layers to bring about learning. It demonstrates the different layers of soil and encourages discussion on soil’s vital role in sustaining plant and animal life on our planet. This is a great activity for Earth Day! 

We will be making our edible soil using the following ingredients:

  • Chocolate chips 
  • Butterscotch chips 
  • Chocolate pudding snack cup 
  • Whole Oreos, crushed
  • Shredded coconut, mixed with green food coloring
  • Gummy worms
