Welcome to Homework and Horseplay. Today is our first day of the 2018-2019 school year, and we are ready for s’more learning! Sadly Mother Nature had different plans than us, and we had to bring the camping indoors. Check out my Tea Time Tuesday Camping Edition to join us for an indoor camping adventure.

Our Table

As I already mentioned I had planned a whole afternoon out by the fire, but the weather did not cooperate… So back to the school room we went. The kiddos didn’t seem to mind. We still found a way to have all of our favorite campfire foods!

Toasting Marshmallows by Kristine O’Connell George is an adorable book full of camping poetry and beautiful illustrations. To be honest my children are not always happy with the poetry I pick out for Tea Time Tuesdays, but this week it was different! I didn’t hear a single complaint.

Featured Recipe

To make your very own S’more Snack Mix you will need:

1 bag mini marshmallows

1 bag milk chocolate chips

1-2 boxes of teddy grahams (we used one honey and one chocolate box)

1/4 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Pour mini marshmallows, milk chocolate chips, and teddy grahams in a bowl and mix. Line baking sheet with wax paper. Pour mixture onto lined baking sheet. Melt 1/4 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl. (Heat in 30 second increments, stir, and continue heating until completely melted.) With a spoon drizzle the melted chocolate over the mixture. Let sit for 20 minutes in fridge before serving.

Thank you for joining us for Tea Time Tuesday Camping Edition…

The rain may have kept us inside, but we didn’t let that get in the way of our fun (and tummy aches from eating so many treats)! In addition to Tea Time Tuesday Camping Edition, we also took on a STEM Box challenge for our first day of school. Don’t forget to check it out!
