Making Models of a Raised Garden Beds
Cinder blockand
Wood option
Use the Tootsie Roll Midgees and icingFirst place a thin layer down on wax
paper to hold the Tootsie Rolls
Place your first layer of candy down adding a small amount of icing in between the candies to replicate the mortar used in cinder block construction.
Remember – one candy is one cinder block = 16 inches in length.
Once complete – add a thin layer of icing on top of the bottom layer, then
add your second layer
Notice how the candies have to be placed for this construction
Wooden option• If you want to make a model of a wooden type
use the Tootsie Rolls Midgees and roll them around in your hands to make them pliable.
• Once pliable, stretch and press them into a shape that represents a piece of wood.
• It takes about 2-3 stretched out and flattened and pressed together to make one length of wood.
• You can determine how many inches (or cm) equals a foot (meters), etc.
This took about 10 Tootsie Rolls using the procedure described
The sides are hard to stand up so Tootsie Rolls can be added for
support, which would have to be done in a real garden in some areas for some of the wooden
options
