Apple OREO Pops

Pin to Pinterest

Apples, School Buses, Chalkboards…. everything back to school. When it gets close to August, I get so excited about all things back to school – maybe it’s the former teacher in me. These Apple OREO Pops are so exciting as a first week of school snack, perhaps surprise the kids after the first day of school!

Ingredients:

Supplies:

Directions:

Separate your OREOs in half.
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt your chocolate melts on 50% power for 3-4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
Dip an end of a lollipop stick into your melted chocolate and place the stick onto one half of your OREO.
Add another dot of melted chocolate to the center of your Oreo on top of your lollipop stick and sandwich your cookie back together.
Let the cookies sit for about 10 minutes.
Roll out your green fondant into dime sized balls and shape into a small leaf.
Use the end of a knife to indent leaf lines into your leaves.
Break each pretzel in about 4 pieces to use for Apple stems.
Now hold your stick and dip your OREO into your melted chocolate, using a small spoon to make sure you cover the entire OREO.
Lay your chocolate covered OREOs onto a piece of parchment paper.
Place a fondant leaf and chocolate pretzel piece on the top of each OREO.
Once all your OREOs are covered transfer to a new piece of parchment paper and set in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Now fill the inside of the donut with your “frosting” color of choice, leaving a couple double spots open next to each other for your “sprinkles.”
Carefully placed your ironing paper over top of your beads and iron on a dry setting for about 20 seconds.

Place another piece of ironing paper over the top and iron for another 15 seconds.

Straight Outta Camp Printable

Pin to Pinterest

Has summer camp created lasting memories, if so check out this FREE PRINTABLE, Straight Outta Camp. This is perfect for iron t-shirts, cinch bags, duffels and more. We used a polyester bag, which was adorable but a cotton t-shirt or cotton cinch bag would be perfect no only for the iron-on, but also for getting signatures. We suggest using Sharpie Markers.

Supplies:

T-Shirt Transfer Paper
Cotton T-Shirt or Poly Bag
Fabric Markers
Iron
Kraft Paper (if using a polyester bag) – also try to find the paper at the Dollar Store or a Craft Store for under $5!

Directions:

Open the Straight Outta Camp image (see below) on the computer.
Set your printer to mirror image before you print.
Print your image on the coated side of the transfer paper (white side, not word side). Allow the printed image to dry before transferring.
Heat up Iron.
Pre-Iron bag or T-Shirt to remove moisture and to create a flat surface.
Place transfer face down and press firmly with the iron. Peel a corner to make sure it is attached before removing completely.

If using a polyester cinch bag use Kraft Paper to avoid melting the bag with the iron! Keep in mind that poly bags are harder to sign.

Learn How to Build a Lemonade Stand with a Recycled Pallet. Easy step by step directions to make your neighborhood stand a happening place!

How to Build a Lemonade Stand with a Recycled Pallet

Are you raising little entrepreneurs? We upcycled a pallet to make a DIY Lemonade Stand. I have seen these stands for a few years now and I have always wanted one. My friend has kept hers free of the words “Lemonade Stand” and has used hers to sell girl scout cookies and even used it as a concession booth for her annual backyard movie theater – it has so many different uses! That is why we made a little flag banner instead. You can replace it or take it off and keep it free of a sign.

Best part, this only cost me $1.00 to make! I bought the pallet from a local hardware store and the rest I had in scrap wood and left over paint from other projects! If you don’t have paint, consider getting the sample sizes from your local hardware store.

Supplies:

Pallet
Circular Saw
Hammer
Drill
Screws
Pencil
Tape Measure
1/2 inch thick board (plywood or any scrap wood) for top
2 – 4 inch wide by 33 inches long boards for bottom braces
2 – 2 inch wide by 44 inches long boards for side braces
1 – 2×4 length of pallet
Sandpaper and or power sander
Paint and Brush

Measurement Note: These measurements can be changed, and will be different if you make your stand a different height. Feel free to customize how it suits you/ your child.

Directions:

Pound in any nail heads that are sticking out. This is easier than puling them out.
Turn the pallet so the slats are vertical.
Start by deciding how high you want your stand to be. I made this one to be 30 inches high.
Draw a line across the top of the pallet at your height and cut off the top of the pallet.
Measure how long your pallet is, and cut your 2×4 that same length.
Pound in the 2×4 with a hammer where there is a gap in the pallet where you just cut until it is flush.
Place some screws in the 2×4 from the front and back of the pallet to reinforce the 2×4 and make sure it doesn’t shift.
Cut your 1/2 inch board or plywood to the size you want your top to be. Mine measured 53 inches by 12 inches. I actually used some scrap wood and pieced two together to make my top.
Make sure the table top is placed further towards the back of the pallet, as you don’t want it to tip.
Turn the stand upside down and screw in your bottom braces to the bottom of the pallet on each side.
Double check the length of the side braces, and make some 45 degree marks on the ends of the side braces so they are flush with the top and bottom braces.
Screw the side braces in to the 2×4 on top and the bottom brace for the bottom.
Flip back over and sand away. (I recommend a power sander as this will go much faster. You will still need good old sandpaper to get the hard to reach places too.)
Once it’s smooth, your ready to paint! Enjoy!
