Creative s'mores recipes?

We buy small Graham cracker crusts (in the tiny pan) and add chocolate chips or pieces of chocolate bars. Then top with small marshmallows. Perfect on a grill or oven!

My kids wanted S'mores once but we were out of graham crackers, so I improvised with chocolate chip cookies, topped them with mini marshmallows and put them in the toaster over for about 5 minutes. The kids loved them!

What are some fun water table ideas and activities?

Measuring cups of different sizes and shapes create ceaseless fun pouring and dumping; dumping and pouring for hours.

Add plastic/foam letters or numbers to the water and have kids “fish” them with a toy fishing rod, large spoon or spatula. If they are ready, you can have them fish for particular letters or numbers to help reinforce alphabet/number recognition.
