Day 9 - - Make Mudpies!

Summer Fun

By Stephanie Brown, About.com

If it's been raining in your area, but the sun is starting to come out, there's no better time for making mudpies. Just grab some old plates or pie tins, some spoons or sticks for stirring and head for the nearest puddle of mud.

Babies will enjoy squishing their toes in the mud while older children can put together pies decorated with leaves, flowers and pebbles. Just be sure not to eat 'em!

For a mudpie that you can eat, try this recipe:

You'll Need:

  • 1 Prepared Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust
  • An 8 ounce container of Cool Whip
  • 1- 4 ounce package instant chocolate pudding
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup Chopped Oreos
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

    Directions:

  • Mix the milk and pudding.
  • Add Cool Whip, cookie crumbs and chocolate chips and mix thoroughly.
  • Pour mix into crust and refrigerate.
