Create the shape of your state from cookie dough. Bake and cool. Give each child or cooperative group a cookie, frosting, and various kinds of candy. Students will use the candy to show the uniqueness of your state. Candy that works well for this activity includes:
1 - Chocolate chips for the mountain ranges
2 - Round cinnamon candies to locate the capitol
3 - Candy coated chocolates to locate other important cities
4 - Brown sprinkles for desert areas
5 - Blue frosting or blue-striped gum for lakes
6 - Thin licorice for rivers
