A fall favorite in our house. Kids can make every step themselves, and there is nothing hot or sharp involved, which makes it great for a class party or a Halloween movie night.
Swap ideas: vanilla pudding with crushed golden cookies makes “sand cups” for a beach day, and a spoon of whipped topping folded into the pudding makes it lighter.
Make it a learning moment: real worms are good for gardens. They tunnel through the soil, which lets air and water reach plant roots. Ask your kids where they have seen worms after it rains.

- Kids Put the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag, squeeze out the air and seal it.

- Kids Spoon the pudding into 4 clear cups, or just open the pudding cups.
- Kids Sprinkle a thick layer of cookie dirt on top of each one.
- Kids Poke 2 gummy worms into each cup so they look like they are crawling out. Stand a tombstone cookie at the back, with a name or a silly message in icing.
