A fun activity for all ages - Edible Campfires

As I've mentioned before, we are a relatively new pack.  We haven't even been through our first recharter yet.  We have about a dozen active boys, so when we meet it is more like an uber-den, rather than several different dens.  While that set is rather cozy and we've all become close over the last few months, it can make planning group activities difficult.

We tried this activity at our last den meeting and it worked well at all the levels.  A special thanks goes out to Scouter Mom for the idea.  I'm not sure if she came up with it, but she was the last one to post it!



Edible Campfires

Ingredients
  • Pretzel rods
  • Pretzel sticks
  • Chow mein noodles
  • Shredded wheat, shredded (the full size type works better than the spoon size)
  • Candy corn
  • Red hots
  • Yellow, orange, and red fruit rollups, cut into small strips
  • Paper plates
Directions
  1. Using the pretzel rods as logs, pretzel sticks and chow mein noodles as sticks, and shredded wheat as tinder, arrange the ingredients like you are building a fire on the paper plate.
  2. “Light” the fire by adding candy corn, red hots, and bits of fruit rollups
  3. Enjoy!
