Campers Trail Mix
Target skill:
Measurement
What kids can do:
Headed outside for a nature walk? Pack a healthy snack and get in measuring
practice at the same time. Provide bags of raisins, Chex mix, chocolate chips,
granola, mini cheese crackers, etc.; plus one paper cup and a resealable plastic
bag per student. On each cup, use masking tape to mark 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4
cup, and 1 cup. Invite students to make their own special mix with any and all
of the ingredients, but specify that it must add up to 2 cups total. After kids
measure each ingredient, have them pour them into their bags. Then zip shut,
shake the mix, and enjoy!
