Hi there! I’m Ken, and I have a little sister named Jen. Today, we’re playing a fun pretend game. Do you want to know what we’re making? A yummy chocolate cake!
First, I crumble some dirt to start our cake. Jen wants to help too, so I let her be my helper. I tell Jen to drizzle some water, but she pours it too fast! Oh no, it turns into mush!
Don’t worry, I can fix it! I add some sand to make it better. Then, we think about adding some special ingredients. How about nuts and berries? Jen finds some leaves to add too.
Jen mixes and stirs, and then it’s my turn. We mix and stir, stir and mix, until our cake is ready. We put it in a pretend pan and let it bake in the sun. Yum!
Mommy and Daddy come over and say they want a big piece of our cake. But guess what? Jen decides she wants a donut instead! Mommy gives Jen a donut, and I get one too. Hooray!

Thanks for joining us on our chocolate mud cake adventure. We hope you had fun!
Nature’s Bakery: Go outside and gather different natural materials like leaves, twigs, and small stones. Use these to create your own pretend cake. Think about what each item could represent in your cake. For example, leaves could be the frosting, and stones could be chocolate chips. Share your creation with a friend or family member and explain what each part of your cake is made of.
Water and Sand Experiment: Fill two small containers, one with sand and the other with dirt. Slowly add water to each and observe what happens. Which one turns into mush faster? Try adding more sand or dirt to see how it changes the mixture. Discuss with a friend or adult why you think sand or dirt behaves differently when mixed with water.
Story Time Imagination: Imagine you are going on another pretend adventure like Ken and Jen. What would you make this time? Draw a picture of your new creation and write a short story about how you made it. Share your story with your class or family and ask them what they would add to your pretend creation.
