Smores is a sure fire way to get my kids all excited to go camping! We haven’t really camped outdoors in real life but we pretend play about camping all the time – complete with
sleeping bags and backpacks! (We just camp out in the living room complete with TV, a fan, and a bathroom and toilet!).

We also have tried camping at the back of our house. Plastic Play Centers are a great way to let the kids pretend that it’s truly a jungle and they are making their way through a maze of trees and vines (like Tarzan and Jane). I remember me and my cousins used to do this a lot.

And of course at the end of our camping at night, just before we go to sleep, we make sure to start a bonfire and cook up some smores.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large marshmallow
• 1 graham cracker
• 1 (1.5 ounce) bar chocolate candy bar

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the marshmallow over an open flame until it begins to brown and melt.
2. Break the graham cracker in half. Sandwich the chocolate between the cracker and the hot marshmallow. Allow the marshmallow to cool a moment before eating.

Isn’t this inviting?
