Planet Garden Fun Recipe to Celebrate Earth Day: Solar S’mores
Make a Solar Oven in a recycled pizza box lined with aluminum foil
1 box Cookie Crisp cereal
1 box Organic Chocolate cereal
2 bags mini marshmallows
2 bags milk chocolate chips
In a large bowl, simply combine cereals, and stir in marshmallows. Fill individual plastic bags. Sprinkle about 1 Tablespoon of chocolate chips per bag. When ready to enjoy, explain the power of solar energy as bags are placed for several minutes in the sun until chips are melted. This is a fun learning experience to demonstrate ways we can re-power with radiant energy. You may also make a Solar Oven by lining a recycled pizza box with aluminum foil to use solar heat to make traditional s’mores.

10. What a Wonderful World by Sarah Brightman
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue, and clouds of White
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, “I love you”
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more, than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
