This is one of my favorite fun snack activities. It provides many opportunities for learning. I always put the mix in one plastic bag and then put it inside another one (double bag), to help prevent accidents, such as holes in the bag. I pass it around the classroom and let the children discuss how it feels, what it looks like and how they think it will be when they finish. This is a great time to talk about temperature, texture, changes from liquid to more solid, make predictions, and learn about milk.
I have found some small ice cream cones in a local grocery store that is the size of your thumb. When the pudding thickens up, I snip one corner of the plastic bag and squeeze the pudding into the cone. A simple recipe that is also a fun activity. I usually use 2% milk if I do not have powered milk on hand. So shake it up and have some fun!!
Assemble & set up ingredients
Put pudding in bag & add milk. Seal bag & shake.
Snip the end of the bag & squeeze into mini ice cream cups.
Enjoy!!
