Cooking Spiders?!? Ewww!!

Once a month, my students and I use book cooks!  It is a cookbook with literature based cook book that has step by step recipes that each relate to specific children's books.  My students look forward to cooking each month!   This month, we "cooked" spiders! (Click here to order the book from Amazon.)

 

 Each student was given 4 M&M's, 2 large marshmallows, and 16 small pieces of licorice in bag. 

 First, each student put eight legs on to their spider.  Getting 4 on each side wasn't the easiest thing to do!

 

Once the legs were on, the adults poured melted chocolate over the marshmallows and the students quickly added 2 eyes to each spider.  

 While the students waited for the chocolate to cool, Mrs. Seehafer read us books about Spiders! Then we got to eat!
