Box Folding Directions Needed for Sweet Lesson
Chocolate. There are few foods that people feel as passionate about -- a passion that goes beyond a love for the "sweetness" of most candies or desserts. Where the mere word can cause mouths to water. But where did the human hunger for sweet begin? And why do we seem to associate candy with medicine-like powers? In this sweet lesson students get hands on (and hands in!) while creating home-made truffles, discovering the history of conversation, or rather conversation hearts, practice origami giving, and learn a little about Hansel and Gretel Much as they, much like the ill-fated siblings, follow a trail of crumbs (in the form of written clues) to progress through the forest! It’s a scrumdidlyumptious time for all!
