S'mores Art Activity

• Begin by asking your child to describe what goes into make S'mores (or tell them if they haven't made these before), feel free to show images as well. 

​

• To keep this activity more open-ended, ask your child to say what they want to use to create each element of the S'more:

  • Graham crackers ​

  • Chocolate

  • Marshmallows

• Then encourage your child to put all of their pieces together!​

​​

• For the more crafy approach, make sure the pieces of cardboard are cut into equal-sized rectangles about 3x3 inches.

​​

• Have your child(ren) push small dents (like you would see in a graham cracker) into the tops of both rectangles.

​​

• If desired, use a marker to color the cotton balls brown/black to give them a “toasted marshmallow” look.

​​

• Cut a square (similar to the cardboard size) out of the brown paper for your “chocolate”

​​

• Glue the brown paper to the cotton balls-then, once dry, glue the cotton balls in between the two pieces of cardboard.
