Teach your kids to cook with these great no-bake recipes. Learning to cook
is a great March break activity for your students. Not only do they get

measuring and cooking techniques. Following recipes is good practice for
science lab too! Here are some fantastic and easy recipes they can try
on their own.

can wrap the sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and keep in the freezer.
