Henry's class has been learning about Japan this week, and today they are having a celebration of Japanese culture, clothes, and food.
*******************
Henry wearing his kimono that he decorated with a tiger, Mt. Fuji, the Japanese flag, a samurai, and a dragon.
Henry wrote a story about all the things he had learned about Japan.And last night, I made {lots and lots of} Candy Sushi for his class.
Candy Sushi How To:
Make a batch of Rice Krispy Treats
{3 tbls butter}
{10 oz bag of mini marshmallows}
{6 cups of Rice Krispies}
{Melt butter, stir in marshmallows until smooth, add Rice Krispies.}
Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and pour the batch of Rice Krispies into the cookie sheet. Press it down until it fills the entire pan. Let cool a little. {I made two batches, that is why there are two sheets of Rice Krispies}
Line gummy worms up along the long side of the Rice Krispy Treat.
Then roll the Rice Krispy Treat until the gummy worms are completely covered.
Press and mold the Rice Krispies into a long tube and then cut along the side of the tube with a very sharp knife. I got three tubes out of each sheet of Rice Krispies.
Use that same sharp knife to cut the roll into approximately 1 inch pieces. I ended up with about 10 pieces per roll for a total of 30 per batch of Rice Krispies.
After the candy sushi rolls are all cut, wrap them with a green fruit roll up. I found mini fruit roll ups that were the perfect size when they were cut in half.

ReplyDeleteloved his paper and the Kimono is so cute. Great job Henry. You are too creative and such a great mom. Good job on the candy sushi. Adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat last comment deleted was me. I put Grant instead of Henry. Did they work on the Kimono at school or was that your idea? Did you use the fabric markers? because I just saw them at Target with the other Crayola markers and was wondering how they worked.
I am totally speechless...seriously where are the words for that is absolutely the cutest thing EVER! I love the sushi!!! Henry's kimono is great and loved his fact sheet. You all must have so much fun together being creative.
