We’re huge football fans, and we enjoy following our favorite team all year round. So, when the Big Game comes around, it’s really a great opportunity to get together with family and friends and enjoy the game, while we share some fun #BigGameTreats.

This year, the boys wanted to do something a little different, and they really let their creative juices fly. They also enjoyed combining their favorite snacks to create a snack landscape, with the Starburst laid out as a road, and the rest of the candy combined to form trees and cars. Beyond the obvious fact that the boys love these snacks, the project/recipe creation is also an important collection of lessons.
- Counting & color organization: They had to count all the pieces to make sure they had enough, and they also organized the colors into the roadway, as well as the other crafty ensembles.
- Storytelling: They rarely miss out on an opportunity to make their projects into an adventure, and this was no exception. On Big Game Day, they’ll be re-telling the stories, which always adds a fun dimension to every get-together.
- Explore Creativity: My kids love to paint, draw, and model; and this became a great way for them to make a crafty snack that we can share. They’ve already been telling all their friends about what they made with their varied collection of Life Savers, Starburst and SNICKERS!
