Blueberry Wrap
Pin for Later

We are bringing back an oldie but goodie recipe from our friends at www.simplysprouteducate.com. This week enjoy a seasonally Sweet and Fresh Blueberry Wrapup.

It’s just that, a lot of yumminess wrapped up into a crowd pleasing treat! If you’re lucky enough to live in a location with blueberry and strawberry patches nearby, we encourage you to take your children to experience the joy of picking their own fruit. What better way to show how the food we eat goes from the soil to the supper table!

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 8oz container of cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 package of crescent rolls

Preparation:

  1. Cream together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Wash blueberries and gently stir into cream cheese mixture. Open crescent rolls and align 7 of them in a pinwheel fashion, equally on a baking sheet. Use the 8th one to fill in any holes in the middle.
  3. Spoon cream cheese and blueberries onto the middle of the crescent pinwheel that is formed. Carefully pull points of crescent rolls overlapping them over the middle in a criss cross fashion.
  4. Bake in a pre-heated oven on 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Also enjoy our Strawberries in a Lemon Cake Recipe.

A seasonal treat for all to enjoy! At Simply Sprout we’re cooking up lots of great ways to make learning fun and educational. Join us at www.simplysprouteducate.com.

Back to School Sharpie Tie Die Book Cover Art

SHARPIE TIE DIE BOOK COVER ART
Pin to Pinterest

Who doesn’t love school supplies? We love them as much as teachers as we did as students, and now we like to find lots of creative ways to use them. At the beginning of each school year it’s a tradition to cover your textbooks. Gone seem to be the days of boring brown paper bags, and now book covers show a student’s style. Why not combine a cool school supply art project and a way to re-purpose something old?

Grab an old t-shirt that you’re going to toss and make it into a one of a kind book cover!

All you need is:

  • 100% cotton t-shirt (preferably white)
  • Sharpie markers (a variety of colors)
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Medicine/eye dropper
  • Cookie sheet
  • Clothespins

Cut your t-shirt down to a rectangle that is long and wide enough to create a cover for the book of choice. Lay the t-shirt flat and clip to the sides of a cookie sheet using clothespins. Make sure to pull the t-shirt as taut as possible while clipping. Using your Sharpie makers make designs such as the circle and dot pattern seen above. Pour rubbing alcohol into a small bowl. Fill your eye dropper with alcohol and then start dripping in the middle of each design. The more you flood the center area, the more the design spreads. There is no way to mess this back to school art project up, so have fun!

We love how our book covers turned out, but you could do tons with Sharpie art. Cut the shirt into smaller pieces and slide into the front cover of your binders. You could make artwork for your locker, recover an out of date lunch bag, make patches for an old backpack, and more.

If you are going to wash the item that you’ve designed it is suggested that you set your artwork with a hot iron first and wash on cold separately.
