Teeny Weeny Cookie Cakes

YOU WILL NEED:

Oreos (Or other cookies built up of two biscuits with filling in between)

Cream cheese/ Icing

Instructions:

Put a cookie down

Take the filling of another cookie, and use it to stick a second cookie on top of the first one. (Side note: Do not throw the remaining biscuit pieces out! You’ll need them at step 4.)

Cover up the sides and top with cream cheese or icing

Break one of your leftover biscuit halves (from step 2) in half and rub the two new sides together above the ‘cake’, so you get crumbs on the top that look like sprinkles.

Enjoy!

Grab a strawberry

Put your hand over the far end of the straw

Push the straw through the strawberry (Using ‘Something we call strength’)

Ta-da! You’ll now have the horrible green bit on the end of your straw. Take your finger off the other end and BLOW. It works just like a blowdart! (But a little less effective.)
