green eggs and ham inspired cupcakes

It only seemed appropriate in the "Once Upon a Time" spring break camp that we look at Dr. Seuss's book, Green Eggs and Ham for an inspired art project on St. Patrick's Day.

However I was pretty sure no child would get excited over actually green eggs and ham so I brought in green and white cupcakes for us to create green cupcake pastel drawings.

Nothing seems to be more exciting than actually drawing a cupcake that one will later get to eat and with this group of campers the reaction was no different.

Each child put a cupcake in front of them and then using  pastel chalk began to create their own green cupcake inspired by the classic "Green Eggs and Ham".

And unlike Sam, I did not have to spend a lot of time convincing the kids to eat the green cupcakes at the end.
