Dirt Cake

My kids LOVE this simple dessert because it tastes yummy, is FUN to make, and boys and dirt just seem to go together. We make this dessert for Halloween, when we are learning about plants or insects, and sometimes for no special reason just because we are craving it. Enjoy!


Dirt Cake

1 pkg. Oreo cookies
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar
3 1/2 c. milk
2 sm. French vanilla instant pudding boxes
1 (12 oz.) Cool Whip
1 pkg. Gummi Worms

Mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar together. In a separate bowl, blend pudding together with the milk. Add the Cool Whip to the pudding mixture then blend in the cream cheese mixture.

Crumble the Oreos in a blender and add 1/2 of Oreos into mixture. Stir altogether with a large spoon. Pour mixture into a pan, and sprinkle the other 1/2 of Oreos on the top. Add Gummi Worms on top of the Oreos. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

For some extra fun, line the inside of a clay flower pot with foil. Alternating cookie crumbs and filling, ending with the cookie crumbs on top. Top with Gummi Worms and a plastic flower.

Gallon Guy/Girl

Here is a cute and FUN visual aid to learn Customary Capacity Units. By creating a Mr. or Mrs. Gallon, children can easily understand the number of each unit that makes up one gallon. I bet your child will remember how many cups are in a quart and how many pints are in a gallon after constructing a Gallon Girl or Guy.

CLICK HERE for a pattern and directions. You can also cut rectangles out of construction paper and create your own head using a paper plate for the face and yarn for the hair. Enjoy!
