Pumpkin Pie in a Cup

I got this idea from Vanessa at www.pre-kpages.com and decided to use it as a Thanksgiving celebration with my students.  I followed the recipe Vanessa provided but I also wanted a more visual representation that my students could follow.  I created this preschooler-recipe on Publisher and found the clip art on Google Images.  


As a whole group, we reviewed what baking tools we would be using and what their functions were.  We also looked over our ingredients and read through the recipe.  We then split into two groups of 7-8 students with either myself or my classroom aide.  


The preschoolers took turns adding in the various ingredients.  Everyone was given a turn mixing the pudding with the whisk and using the rolling pin to crush graham crackers. 




The preschoolers all agreed that their favorite part was getting to eat the finished products!  We made a few extra cups that we then gave to our principal, secretary, counselor, custodian and lunch lady as thank you's for all the hard work they do.  It was the perfect way to end our week of giving thanks!

I'm so glad you were able to use the recipe! I LOVE your rebus recipe idea!!! Where on earth did you find the picture of the pastry bag? I tried to view the recipe on Google Docs but it said I didn't have permission :(
Thanks for sharing,

I really like this idea. I want to try it. I may try a different flavor since we are on Thanksgiving break.
