Dirt Cake
"Kids love dirt. Can be made in a large flower pot or 2 small flower pots."
INGREDIENTS:
1 (20 ounce) package
chocolate sandwich cookies
with creme filling
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream
cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant
chocolate pudding mix
3 cups milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen
whipped topping, thawed
15 gummi worms
DIRECTIONS:
1. Put the cookies in a food processor and process until they become fine crumbs. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the butter or margarine, cream cheese, confectioners sugar and vanilla flavoring. Beat on low speed to mix then beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the chocolate pudding mix and milk to the bowl. Beat on low speed to combine.
3. Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture with a rubber spatula.
4. Assemble in the ungreased 9x13 inch pan in layers as follows: first layer, 1/3 cookie crumbs; second layer, 1/2 pudding mixture; third layer, 1/3 cookie crumbs; fifth layer, 1/3 cookie crumbs.
5. Tuck the ends of gummy worms in the cookie "dirt". Be sure to have a worm on each piece. Store in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Cut into 15 squares, or serve with a clean garden trowel or a toy sand shovel if serving in the flower pot.
Mystery Paint
Materials:
baking soda
water
paper
paintbrush
food color of choice
Steps:
Just mix equal parts baking soda and water, then paint a message on a piece of paper. Let dry for an hour.Mix water with a little food coloring. Paint over dried mixture and your message will be revealed.
Bubble Wands
Blowing the perfect bubble depends on equal parts science and magic.
With a few twists of wire, you can make fantastic bubble wands and spend long, lazy days practicing your technique.
The best bubble solution is 10 cups water to 4 cups dish-washing liquid, plus 1 cup Karo corn syrup. For large wands, youâll need plastic-coated wire coat hangers and either floral netting or plastic-coated chicken wire. Hold the hook at the top of the hanger, and pull the bottom down so that it forms a circle. Cut away the hook and twisted neck of the hanger with wire cutters; you should have about a 31-inch length of wire. With needle-nose pliers, twist a tiny hook into one end of the wire. Bend that end around, and hook it on the wire about 9 inches from the opposite end, forming a 7-inch-diameter circle. Squeeze the hook with pliers to fasten, and straighten the end to form a handle. Cut an 8-inch-diameter circle of floral netting. With pliers, fold the nettingâs edge tightly around the frame, snipping off any sharp ends. For small wands, use 18-gauge cloth-covered wire cut to a length of 15 inches. Bend the wire into a lollipop shape, securing the end of the wire where the loop meets the handle with a dab of glue. To make a star, divide the circle into five even increments, then crimp with pliers. To make a heart, crimp only the top center of the circle. A tin can, with its top and bottom removed, also makes great bubbles-carefully trim any sharp edges, dip one end in solution, and pull through the air to make one long bubble.

any awesome x-mas ideas for a 9 year old boy?
Harmony
something to keep him occupied over the winter?
cheap or expensive, i just need some ideas. i have no idea what to get or what to tell family to get.
Answer
I have a 10 year old daughter and 8 year old son (and a baby as well).
I can tell you that a Wii is AWESOME! They are a bit pricy and can be hard to find, but it is an outstanding experience. My children can get a workout indoors, playing the boxing that comes on the Wii Sports disc (included with the system)-there is also baseball, bowling, tennis and golf on that included disc.
Both of my children want a Nintendo DS for Christmas. I am not sure they are getting them-in fact, they are probably not-but I have seen them in bundles in the stores, with games and such included.
My son LOVES anything related to carss, and the Hot Wheels Trick Tracks (might be spelled Trax) are at the top of his list. There are three or four different sets, that I know of, and they cost about $10 each.
My son has play carpets to use his car own, with roads, construction sites, etc. I have seen them at Wal Mart, but Toys R Us has them and the best ones I have found were at Home Depot (in the rug area).
Transformers are another favorite of my son, but be careful-I have bought several transformers that did not transform.
Board games. There is one called Gassy Gus that you can find at Books A Million and online. You are trying to feed Gus foods that will not make him explode, so while it is a bit appaling it is educational in a way that will keep children interested. Of course, the standard's are good-Operation now comes in a variety of versions including Junkyard Jalopy (car related), Shrek, etc.
Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs should never be overlooked, as well as Mega Blocks/Legos. My son will build entire towns with these for his cars to ride through. It really is educational and entertaining.
How about a science kit? Magnets, Chemistry-if you have a store called Wonder Works near you, or Hobby Town USA you will find things like this that will keep him busy. Ask family for gift certificates to such places, and he can pick his own.
Books! Boys tend to not enjoy reading as much as girls, but there are a lot of good books out there that can make it more appealing to them. Find books based on soemthing he is interested in, or a magazine subscription (Your Big Backyard and Ranger Rick are both nature/animal related, Highlights for Children has a lot of activities to keep them busy, National Geographic Kids, Sports Illustrated for Kids, etc. The possibilities are endless).
How about a membership to something he would be interested in? The Children's Museum, karate lessons, swimming (most centers offer it even in winter, the pools are heated) etc.
Other things that my eight year old enjoys or thinks he would enjoy include: a pogo stick, stilts, walkie talkies (go for the 'real' ones that cost $30 or so instead of the toy ones, and even then know that they do NOT get the range they indicate unless you are in an open field/prairie).
His own real tools (miniature versions, but metal not plastic) and the materials to build something-a tool box, a birdhouse, whatever-these can be found at Toys R Us, Home Depot and any hobby shop.
I hope these ideas help!
