Element Cookies! (Idea taken from Half a Hundred Acre Woods -- hey, no sense re-creating the wheel when there are so many good ideas out there!)

The pink frosting is the nucleus of the atom; chocolate chip cookies stand in for protons and blue sprinkles stand in for neutrons. Since these are all neutral atoms, I just reminded the boys that proton count = electron count.
I also printed out a worksheet from CCConnected that has a chart to fill in -- it will expand our learning about these 12 elements and teach atomic mass.
The photos I have I can use to help the boys review their work!
