Here is the video :

This video is from my best friend Venice. I did film a video of my own but the file was to big so I had to use Venice's. It's a time lapse so the video won't take to long to watch :)

Here is a photo of one of the hokey pokey blobs:

Discussion:

I noticed when I ate the hokey pokey it was chewy and very sweet. As I watched my class mates pour/scrap the hokey pokey onto the baking paper I felt satisfied. It felt very sticky and felt like sugar. My favourite part of this activity was eating the hokey pokey and mixing the mixture :) (Unfortunately we didn't use cookie cutters 😕 but that's ok).
