Like any other parent, I’m not a big fan of dirt in my house and on my floors. I prefer no one wear shoes in the house and vacuum multiple times a week. My boys are practically dirt magnets, which I don’t mind as long as they keep it outside.

Another thing my kids are magnets for are snacks. The combination of dirt and snacks usually doesn’t go well together… until now. This Oreo dirt pudding snack cup is perfect for kids and adults without the mess. This easy dirt pudding recipe is a great way to get your kids in the kitchen and work on multiple developmental skills. More gummy worms for me please!
