You Will Need:
Ice Cream Cones
Tub/s of Frosting (White or Green)
Paper Plates
Pieces of Candy
The first thing I ask the kids to do is to spread the
frosting on the plate. I usually use white for a snowy landscape, then have
them use green to spread all over the cone. Green frosting, however, is hard to
come by. So I would put a drop or two f green food coloring on the white
frosting and just mix it until all the green is evenly distributed. You can, of
course, go all-white, for a White Christmas effect, or just all-green and tell
them it’s for a grassy field or meadow!
When the frosting has been put on the plate and on the cone.
Invert the one over the plate. This will be the tree. Then use the candy pieces
to decorate.
I just used the extra choco chips and M&Ms from the
Reindeer Sandwiches, and what was left over from the Marshmallow Men, and
added a little bit extra from what I could find in the pantry (think left over Halloween
Candy!)
So the kids are a bit more invested in the creative process,
tell them the best Christmas Tree wins a prize! When everything is decorated
and done, have the children set all their creations on a table or corner and
call in grandma to be the judge. The best one wins a special prize!
