Great Gorpy!

My children had so much fun making "Great Gorpy" a few weeks ago.  This was an INCREDIBLY easy project for them to do together and took very little work on my part.  They loved making this for snack time.  We even had enough to share!  




It is so simple - just look through your cupboard, take out random snack foods, and put a big bowl on the table.  Then give the children a cup and instructions to add a cup of whatever they wish out of the big pile you've put on the table.  Mix well and enjoy!  

Here's what we put in our GORPY:

dried blueberries
dried cranberries
coconut
chocolate chips
Chex
Fruit Loops
almonds
raisins



This is a great rainy day activity or good if you have someone little who needs a "mommy's helper" type job.  Mr. Z and Big Joe were my "Great Gorpy Helpers."
