Edible Maps

So this week we were learning about maps.  After a week's worth of activities, we, as a grade level, decided to make edible maps to wrap up the week.  I found a recipe (won't use again) and made the dough.  Unfortunately since it's halfway to payday, I didn't have much money for decorations AND I left the icing at home.  The dough I made was extremely hard to push the decorations into so I had bought a can of icing to cover it with them promptly ran out of the house without it Friday morning.  At least I remembered the other stuff!!!  So here's what we did:  Thursday we made a map of the room.  We decided on chocolate bars for the desks and bookcases, caramels for the computers and my desk, and gummi bears for the kids.  It turned out pretty cute despite me forgetting the icing which I had also planned to use to write on it with!!!!
