One of the greatest things to do with kids over the summer is to go camping (or RVing, which is fun too!). As part of a little RV trip recently to Vermont, we made it a point to build a fire (which, if you asked our boys, was arguably as much fun as the s'more eating!!); and got out our telescoping marshmallow roasting sticks (although it's fun to 'cut' some from the woods, please take stuff that has already fallen from a tree!). You can check out the 'roasters' we use (also good for hot dogs) HERE.
This is something our boys always LOVE to do: the wood arrangement/gathering, the fire building, the attempts to master the art of 'browning' and NOT burning the marshmallows. And, equally importantly, the proper assembly of the S'more itself. Total cost (less the roasting sticks) about $10 for a big supply of chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers.
Not traveling? Find an old wheel rim, clear the foliage around the rim, dig a little hole in the center, and you have your self-made, backyard fire pit! No backyard?? Well, skip the roasting and jump ahead to just the assembly - cracker, chocolate squares, marshmallow (2 actually), cracker, and then warm in a microwave or toaster oven until the marshmallow just starts to heat (otherwise, it may get too hot for the youngest of consumers!). Yum, yum, and don't forget to have the kids make one for you!!
