Groundhog Lunches Groundhogs like to nibble on grasses & other greens that grow near their burrows. For "groundhog lunches", make watercress & romaine lettuce salads to eat with a favorite dressing.
Shadow Cookies Give children two different types of cookie dough. (Refrigerated sugar & chocolate chips cookie dough would work well.) Make two balls & push them into each other. Flatten the cookies and bake them to create a shadow cookie.
Making Shadows Using chocolate chips and butterscotch or peanut butter chips, let the children create shadows. Using the light colored chips have them make a small shape, & next to it, use the darker chips to create it's shadow. The shadow may be larger than the original shape.
Groundhog Stew 4 lbs. beef for stew, cut in 1 1/2" cubes 1 lb. carrots sliced 2 1/2 lbs. potatoes, quartered 1/2 lb celery, chunks 1 onion diced. In large pan, cook the beef in water until it is almost done. Add vegetables and cook until tender. Two envelopes of brown gravy mix can be added for extra flavor.
Food with holes Since groundhogs are known for poking out of holes, let children sample some foods with holes such as donuts, bagels, or Swiss cheese.
