April weather can sometimes have us daydreaming about summertime—camping, swimming in the lake, and of course making s’mores! It might not be campfire season yet, but we have the perfect thing to get you through the rest of the school year! For today’s Eco-Activity, we’re making no-bake s’mores inspired by our fluffy, mountain climbing buddies: bighorn sheep!

These No-Bake Bighorn S’mores are perfect for lunch boxes, birthday parties or even if you’re just a fan of graham crackers (or should we say ram crackers—get it?). No need to pull out the hand mixer or sit around waiting for them to finish baking. This easy recipe can be thrown together in less than 10 minutes!

Here’s how to make them:

1. Cover the top of each graham cracker with frosting.

2. Place the chocolate wafer at the bottom center of the graham cracker. This will form the sheep’s head!

3. Place the marshmallows around the sheep’s head to form the sheep’s body. Use a small dab of frosting to “glue” the eyes to the sheep’s head.

4. And finally, you can’t have a bighorn sheep without the horns! Break off the two large loops of a pretzel and place them on top of the sheep’s head to form the horns!

When it comes to tunneling, American badgers put everyone to shame! Their epic underground burrows are a maze of tunnels and dens, which is where they sleep and spend a lot of their time. Then, when the badgers are done with them, they are perfect for a rabbit or fox to take over. It’s time to channel your inner badgers because for this Eco-Activity, we’re building a badger den!

Instructions

1. Set up the walls of your den. They can be made out of couch cushions, chairs, or even just a table that you can sit under.

2. Hang the blankets over the walls. If your blankets are too small, you can use clothespins to keep them together.

3. Grab some comfy blankets and pillows and set up the inside of your den. Make sure it’s super cozy!

4. Your den is ready! Head inside and hangout: read a badger blog post, watch a badger video, or take a nap to get the full badger experience.

American badgers are feisty creatures with amazing digging skills, but what else do you know about them? Brush up on your badger facts with today’s Eco-Activity! Read about them in the paragraph below, and try to find all the red words in the word search.

American badgers are members of the weasel family, and their babies are called cubs. They’re carnivores and when hungry, they love to snack on rodents like mice and voles. They’re nocturnal, which means they’re awake at night, and they have long snouts and sharp claws. They call the grassland home where the soil is loose and great for digging their burrows.
