vanilla with fudge frosting…
chocolate with raspberry filling…
sugar and sprinkles…
Gotcha listening?
Good!
I’m not really talking about the kind of cupcakes and cookies we love to indulge in. I’m talking about the ones from trees!
Many of us are still cleaning up from the super, silly, sneaky snowstorm of a few weeks ago, cutting down broken branches, collecting twigs from the lawn, and sadly removing fallen trees.
Slicing those branches and trunks into cross-sections of 1″ -2″make fabulous tree cookies! Thicker sections, 4″ – 5″, we have named tree cupcakes!
We use these cookies and cupcakes to learn more about how trees grow and age, how the weather affects trees, and the purpose of the different layers.
We could sure use some more in our science classroom, so if you’d like to donate some delicious, uh, fabulous tree cookies and cupcakes, please comment below and I promise I won’t let any termites near them!
