Related Episode: Just Desserts

Subjects/Skills: Following Directions; Math

Materials Needed:
9 graham crackers
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
5 tablespoons melted butter
2 bananas
Your child's favorite flavor of frozen yogurt
2 cups of cleaned strawberries
1 cup of blueberries
9-inch pie plate
Paper
Marker

Directions:
Tell your child that just like the Dragon Tales gang, you can work together to make a special pie for dessert. First, ask her to help you keep track of and gather the ingredients.

Write the list of ingredients on a piece of paper. Tell your child that she will be responsible for gathering 3 items, perhaps the bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, or whatever you think will be appropriate for her to gather. Let her know that you may need help gathering the other ingredients, because you're not sure if you can remember everything on the list.

Work together to keep track of the ingredients list, just like the Dragon Tales gang did. When you've gathered everything, follow the directions below to make the no-bake pie.

Crush graham crackers, then mix them with the oats and butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.
Cut bananas into slices and arrange on top of crust.
Cover bananas with a layer of frozen yogurt.
Slice strawberries and arrange on top of the frozen yogurt.
Sprinkle blueberries on top of strawberries.
Place in the freezer for 4 hours.
Eat up!
