☀️ Save this DIY for a sunny summer treat! ☀️ Did you know that today is the official start to summer? And what better way to celebrate summer than building a DIY solar oven that uses the sun's energy to melt chocolate and toast marshmallows? See steps below! 🍫😋

Materials:
😎 Box (with hinge)
😎 Aluminum foil
😎 Plastic wrap
😎 Tape
😎 Plate
😎 Straw (optional)
😎 Graham crackers
😎 Marshmallows
😎 Chocolate

Instructions:
🌞 Gather your materials.
🌞 Cut off the box's extra flaps, so you're left with an open-top box and a lid panel that can be propped open.
🌞 Line the inside of your box and the lid flap with aluminum foil. Use clear tape to hold it in place as needed.
🌞 Lay out several graham cracker squares in the box, then place marshmallows on half of the crackers and chocolate on the other half.
🌞 Tape a sheet of plastic wrap over the top.
🌞 Take your solar oven out into the sun and position it so that the sun shines directly inside. If your lid has trouble staying open, use a straw and some tape to prop the lid open.
