Dirt pudding! Individual cups, or not - it's crushed oreo cookies,
chocolate pudding, and gummy worms. You can do a non-chocolate version
with vanilla pudding and vanilla wafers.

Or, Cat-box cake. I don't have a recipe for that - you will need to do
a search for that one, or have someone else post it, but it's funny.
Gross-looking, but funny.

Dirt pudding, for what it's worth, works exceptionally well in a sand
bucket (the kind you get for use at the beach for kids) that's not been
used - if it's for the class, you could do a couple of buckets' worth,
and serve up from there.

It's actually very easy to make - the only issue in your case would be
storage.

Finally, last but not least, I might do cat cakes, which are cupcakes,
frosted in black icing (food coloring) to which you add eyes (green
M&Ms) and licorice whiskers, with a candy-corn nose, and ears that are
non-edible - tin foil, or something like that.
