How I make worm pudding cups and worm cupcakes. (I wish I had taken a picture.)

Usually I make these every year for Halloween.



For the pudding cups-

JELL-O Cooked Pudding (I usually use 2 packages but there are 7 of us!)

1 Package of Oreos - crushed

2 Bags of Gummy Worms

Make the pudding as directed and poor into plastic cups.

Add the crushed Oreos on top.

Now add your worms. (If you want worms in with the pudding, mix them into the JELL-O)



For the cupcakes -

1 box of chocolate cake mix

1 container of icing

cupcake liners

2 packages of Gummy Worms

1 package of Oreos - crushed



Bake the cupcakes as directed.

When cooled, ice as usual then roll the tops in the crushed Oreos.

Take a straw and insert it into the middle of the cupcakes. This will remove a small section.

Poke a Gummy Worm into each hole.

I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't find more on worms. SIGH... Oh, well... Maybe I will make some more printables before we get to this theme. If I do, I will be sure to share them! :D

Pirate Unit Study with FREE Printables!



(graphic - The Graphics Fairy)



I am still planning away and I still have TONS to do. I have barely scratched the surface with Joshua and Deanna! YILES!!! Cailey's is maybe 1/4 done and Colin's is more than 1/2. With Colin I plan on using Easy Peasy All in One Homeschool for math and reading. For science, history, geography and animal studies, he will be following along with Cailey. 


After I get some more concrete ideas for Joshua and Deanna, I will share them here. Joshua is going into his senior year and Deanna is going into her junior year. My goodness!!! These kids grow up so fast!! MAKE THEM STOP!!!!

Here are the things I have found for a study of pirates. Most things are free and the books can be found at your local library or Amazon.

I try to provide resources for a variety of ages. Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's not! ;)

For this study I made some notebooking pages. All the graphics used were free. I used to make notebooking pages for the kids all the time but I sort of got away from it for a while.
