Edible Landforms

As you know we have just finished our social studies unit which included geography, landforms, and a number of other great activities. We did centers revolving around these concepts this week. We culminated the unit by making "edible landforms." The students were given a sugar cookie "island" and a blue plate "water" and were told to build landforms and forms of water on their island. We used candy corns for mountains, peppermint patties for hills (broken in half), hershey's bars for plateaus, blue icing for water, and green sprinkles for grass. We had a great time and a great amount of sugar with this activity! Below are pictures of everyone's landforms.
