My grandson's first birthday is next week. 
DD has in mind the nursery rhyme "What Are Little Boys Made Of?"
First is it Snakes, and snails and puppy dog tails? or Snips and, etc., or Frogs, and etc.,??? And what the heck is a SNIP, anyway 
Second-I am just dry...any help with cake ideas will be GREATLY appreciated!
TIA 
What Are Little Boys Made Of? is a popular nursery rhyme dating from the early nineteenth century:
What are little boys made of, made of?
What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy-dogs tails,
Thats what little boys are made of.
Common variations replace snips with slugs (especially in the UK), snakes, or frogs. In The Real Mother Goose (Rand McNally, 1916), the word is "snaps." It has also be conjectured that the original words were Snips of snails, meaning little bits of snails. The punctuation and use of the possessive in puppy-dogs tails also varies.
(Got this off of Wikipedia, HTH!)
My first thought would be a bucket with all sorts of these things poking out the top, maybe now that the poem is here it will inspire some other suggestions! I'll post again if I think of something else!
{edited to add: The rhyme is part of a larger work called What Folks Are Made Of or What All the World Is Made Of. Other stanzas describe what babies, young men, young women, sailors, soldiers, nurses, fathers, mothers, old men, old women, and all folks are made of. Burton Stevenson attributed the two verses above to the English poet Robert Southey (c. 1820).}
