Earth Day

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Alexis and Ingrid Show! 

On April 22nd, just two days away, it'll be Earth Day! We found some great activities and crafts based on Earth day and made sure to add them to our Pinterest.

In spirit of Earth day, Alexis and I came up with an edible treat with easy clean up and activity great for all ages. For this edible treat* you'll need:
  • Mason jars (Preferably green, representing Earth Day) 
  • Rocky Road ice cream 
  • Mini Oreos snack pack
  • Gummy Worms
  • Ribbon (optional)
*The amount of materials needed for this treat varies and is determined by the size of your mason jars and party.


Mason jars are reusable and when you make this treat with your class (or when you have friends over!), they are able to take it home and make other recipes with it as well. Once you have your mason jar, scoop the rocky road to fill 75% of the jar. The layer of ice cream in this sweet treat represents the soil of the earth. From there, take the Mini Oreos snack pack bag and crush all the Oreos.  Pour the Oreos on the layer of ice cream and place the gummy worms on top. And TADAA! You have an Earth Day inspired recipe.

Preparing this recipe is easy and fun to do. You could find ribbon at your local craft store and use it to personalize your mason jars. This in itself, is an activity, but if you want to have an extra pizzazz play The Lorax, a movie about a "grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world." We hope you enjoy the Earth Day inspired festivities! This has been another addition of the Alexis and Ingrid Show, have a wonderful day.
