Not So Usual Celebrations
August 31st is National Trail Mix Day. Trail Mix is a snack that you can carry with you easily—whether exploring the world on foot or in the car. Trail Mix is a combination of sweet and salty that is delicious. If you are making your own trail mix, try to avoid things that are sticky—yuck, it make a huge mess and doesn’t clean up well. Trader Joe’s has a wide variety of Trail Mixes to choose from, but the real fun is when you get the basic ingredients and make your own. This way you are sure that the trail mix is exactly what you like.
Activity for Kids
In order to go outdoors and explore, you may need to keep your strength up by making and eating trail mix. The recipe can be simple or complex. For the simple version, mix pretzels, peanuts, a few M and Ms, cheese crackers, raisins or cranberries, maybe chocolate or other flavored chips, and Cheerios. Mix it altogether and then divide into small bags or paper cups, and have kids enjoy while “hiking” through the neighborhood.
