Sweets Choose Your Own Adventure

Dear Sweet Adventurers,

Did you know that a single cookie crumb is bigger than your entire body—if you’re the size of an ant? Well, hold on to your magnifying glasses because that’s exactly what you’re about to experience!

Your lab coats are hanging on the wall, and the “Shrinky-Dink” machine is all warmed up. You’ll be magically miniaturized down to a tiny size when you step inside. Then, you’ll have to decide where your next sweet adventure awaits:

  1. Ice Cream 🍨
    Can you keep your balance while carving through the slippery slopes of melted vanilla? Maybe you prefer to strap on a tiny snowboard and glide down the frosty ridge of a fresh scoop. Or perhaps you’d rather lace up some pint-sized snowshoes to trek across fluffy whipped-cream drifts and discover hidden caches of sprinkles.
  2. Cookies 🍪
    Dare to climb the towering chocolate chip peaks using a simple rope ladder, channel your inner mountaineer and tackle the crumbly cliff face head-on. Carve out caves in the soft, doughy interior as you search for hidden chocolate treasures. Watch out for chocolate chip avalanches, one crumbly misstep could send chips tumbling like boulders, transforming your sweet journey into a daring escape!
  3. Jell-O (Jelly) 🧫
    Splash around in the wiggly depths, tossing candy balls back and forth as you drift through sweet, jiggly waves. If you’re feeling adventurous, climb onto the giant spoon that doubles as a diving board—will you dare to plunge into the shimmering gelatin below? Just watch out for any gummy sharks lurking beneath the surface!

Before diving into your adventure, we recommend doing some group brainstorming to help spark your creativity and imagination. Here are some questions to discuss with your fellow scientists:

What tiny details would you notice now that would be overlooked at a normal size?
What noises might you hear when cookie crumbs crumble, skis slide, or Jell-O wobbles?
Which words describe how each treat feels?
Which sweet or unexpected scents flood your senses when you’re this small?
If you dare to take a bite, what flavours explode in your mouth?
Does temperature (cold ice cream, warm cookie dough) affect your ability to move around?
What dangers might you face?
Do you have a plan for returning to normal size, or would you prefer to remain tiny, adventuring in a world of giant treats?
Do you meet other characters in your narrative?

Be creative! You can write from the moment you shrink, describe every challenge and discovery in your sweet habitat, and decide if — and how! — you’ll ever return to your normal size. Perhaps you’ll stay so small that a single chocolate chip is as big as your head! Or maybe you’ll find a hidden “Ungrow” button among the cookie crumbs or beneath a swirl of whipped cream.

Ready to shrink and explore? Your next adventure is only one bite away. Choose your treat, gather your courage, and discover what happens next in this tiny, tasty world!

Bon Voyage,
