School Projects: The Eye Ball Donut Creation & Writing Assignment

A tray of “The Eye Ball” Donuts ready to take to school

The girls recently had a writing assignment that they had to do for school.  Brina came up with The Eye Ball Donut creation.  For extra credit they could make their creations and share them with their classmates and teachers at school.  We came up with a cookie creation using all the ingredients she mentioned in her writing assignment and they turned out fairly well.  Instead of using cookies for Brina’s we used a powdered doughnut or in this case a munchkin for Dunkin Donuts.  The donuts were a perfect treat to share with her classmates instead of cupcakes on Halloween.  Karlie also did a cookie creation and writing assignment called Inside Your Feet.

The Eye Ball was super easy to put together and a big hit with Brina’s classmates.

The Eye Balls did exactly what we wanted them to do – overnight the blue frosting that we used to attach the pupil part of the eye spread a little giving The Eye Balls blue colored eyes!

The Eye Ball Items:

• White Powdered Donuts (Dunkin Donut sells white powdered munchkins which are perfect for this treat, but you can make homemade if you want)
• Blue Frosting (we used the blue writing frosting but you could use brown or green, etc…)
• Edible Eyes (you can pick these up at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, etc…)
• Red Sprinkles

Once you have your white powdered donuts add a small drop of blue frosting and attached the pupil of your eye to your eye ball.  Dip the bottom of the donut into red sprinkles and place on a tray.  Let set overnight so the blue frosting will spread a little bit giving you a blue eye color.

The donuts turned out well and were a big hit with Brina’s class.  It was a lot of fun putting these together with her and they were super simple.  These would be an easy Fall or Halloween treat to do for a party or for fun.
