Maisie’s landforms presentation

Maisie’s newest presentation took a few days to put together as we decided that we would make an edible landforms display that Maisie and her classmates could eat after her presentation. 

It started off with making some fresh baked brownies which would prove to be a perfect and delicious base.  Maisie loves to help bake and cracking eggs is one of her favorite jobs.

Stirring everything together is fun too.

But licking the spoon is the best part.

The batter passed the Maisie taste test and she thinks that her classmates will also approve.

Tuesday after school and homework Maisie made the snow capped marshmallow mountains.

And a chocolate chip cookie island.

Chocolate brownie base (yes we cheated and used a mix) with mountains made from Marshmallow Supremes topped with chocolate cookie icing & white nonpareils.  The plateaus are three different sizes of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups.  The lake, river & ocean are blue cookie icing topped with blue sugar crystals and the plains, valley and land are green cookie icing topped with coconut which was tinted green and green sugar crystals.  The sand is white cookie icing topped with brown sugar.  The island is a chocolate chip cookie topped with green cookie icing, football mix sprinkles and a Hershey’s Kiss volcano.

This morning all the children did their landform presentations and everyone did a great job.  Maisie was the last to present as Miss. Lisa knew that Maisie’s project was going to be shared and eaten!  All the children were excited once Maisie completed her presentation and questions and couldn’t wait to get a piece of her project. 

Maisie’s classmates as well as the kindergarteners who watched the presentations enjoyed the landform brownies but sweetest of all, Maisie rated yet another* perfect presentation and project grade.
