Oh, I am also going to have my kids make spider cookies. You give each student a chocolate cream filled cookie and they twist it apart. Students then untwist a Twizzler stick and cut it into thirds. They make eight candy legs and put them over the cream on the cookie. After they put the Twizzler legs on they place the top of the cookie back on and use candy for the eyes.
Students then write a story about the spider.
It is a lot of fun. Well, you could use a Hostess chocolate tube for the body, but the wings are the tough part. We used to make jack-o lantern cookies. The children spread orange icing on a rice cake, added 2 candy corns for eyes, one for the nose and licorice for the mouth. We pointed out interesting tombstones such as one with a modern art sculpture of an angel, one with a car engine encased in it, etc.
