Peter Rabbit's
Mixed-Up Garden Snacks
and the kids loved them! The cards I made up are here for you to print.
In case you can't download the cards, they say:
"Peter Rabbit’s seeds got all mixed up this year and now he doesn’t know what has grown in his lovely garden! Will you help him eat his yummy treats and figure out what they are? Help Peter by digging in each hole, nibbling the food, and deciding what it is. Use your taste, smell, and sight to figure out this mystery! Good luck!"
Peter Rabbit's Mixed-Up Garden
Ingredients:
-a cupcake pan or mini-mufifn tin
-various fruits & veggies, cut into bite sized pieces
-tissue paper
-tape
-Peter Rabbit's Mixed-Up Garden cards
Directions:
Fill cupcake or mini-muffin tins with various fruits and veggies.
Cover with a sheet of tissue paper and tape down to secure. Two layers of tissue works best (just fold a piece in half) so no one can peek!:)
Print the Peter Rabbit's Mixed-Up Garden cards, fold in half, and place with the muffin tin. Let the kids "dig" and discover what yummy treats are in the "garden"!
At the end of this week I should be posting the details on how you can enter the Lip Smackin' Healthy Food Cookoff! We have some great prizes and I can't wait to get started!

Hi Cindy,
I couldn't sleep last night, started thinking about my daughters "play" muffin tins & reading Peter Rabbit and it just came about. I whipped up the cards this morning. Weird, I know, but true. My poor husband just ignores me past 10 PM when I start to get crazy ideas.:)
You are so creative, I can't get over your ideas! They are awesome. Can't wait to try. Thanks for your posts!

Very Clever!
This is such a cute idea! My kids would love this. Thanks for sharing. I am going to have to try this. Thanks!
I love love this idea. So fun! Thanks for sharing.
@Mandy - Hm, crazy ideas about children's books and edible activities, I think we just might be related! My husband also kindly and wisely looks the other way when the gears start turning, LOL.
I just read my daughter's class Miss Rumphius and Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed and then had the kids make edible flower gardens. Also gave them Idea seed packets (Rainbow Nerd candies in packet with a painting from the book on the front and on the back directions to use the seeds to grow ideas to make their world more beautiful ).
Thanks for sharing the idea! Cindy H
You guys are so darn cute!

Great idea. Where did you find the mini foil muffin pans? I have never seen these before.
Hi Ann,
I bought them at our local grocery store, they were with the rest of the foil pans in the baking aisle. My girls actually use them for their "play" kitchen. :)
Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful feedback! I'm so glad that so many of you want to try this at home!
I'm loving the idea for a lesson on the 5 senses in my first grade classroom! Thanks.
