Growing up my mom always made me "Ants on a Log." However, my kids will not eat celery (too stringy), so we have done the "Ants on a Raft." We called it "Ants in the Mud." My 3 yr old loves the fact that he can do it himself and the idea of being able to "play in the mud" was a lot of fun for him.
ReplyDeletevery cute idea!
