Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

4 - scoops vanilla ice cream
4 - zagnut candy bars
1 - bag 'green peas' candy
1 - bag 'orange carrots' candy
1 jar(s) carmel ice cream sauce

Steps:

I put all ingredients in bowls in front of the kids. Make a big deal out of putting on the aprons, tying back their hair, washing hands, etc.
Give each child an ice cream scoop. Help little ones to scoop the ice cream out into a nice ball on the plate. Help them squeeze the bottle of 'gravy' sauce out over the ice cream.
Give each child a plastic knife and help them learn how to cut while holding their little fingers out of the way! Cut the candy bar into small nugget sizes.
Spoon out a few spoons of peas onto the plate. Add some spoons of carrots. Mix with their fingers and it's ready to serve! This is a great plate for them to make for Mother's or Father's Day!
