When my 9-year-old daughter was in preschool, her teacher had this wonderful and easy food project that all the children LOVED. They decorated their very own Christmas Trees: frost upside down sugar cones with green frosting and decorate with an assortment of candies, etc. Every year since we’ve done the same project over Christmas Break and each child of mine has grown to love these little trees as well.
I especially love to see how the kids try to eat their little creations. David, my 3-year-old digs right in, no hands and just starts eating the cone off the plate. My 4-year-old, however, didn’t really want to eat his work of art. He said it was “too pretty”. John and Chloe had no problem just picking up their frosted trees and devour them in about a minute.
If you are looking for something to do to keep your kiddos busy the next couple of days before Christmas I highly recommend you and your children decorate these fun and festive trees!
We do those! We put them next to our graham cracker “gingerbread” houses.
Wow! This is going on my list TODAY! What a fabulous idea. And fun for all ages–even the younger kiddos can manage this! Yay!
Great idea!! Glad I saw this before I went to the store. My 4 yr old daughter will love making these!
My son’s class did that yesterday – they loved it! I liked it because it was something he could eat at the party. I made your recipe for the chocolate cookies (the ones like Little Debbie’s) and they were a big hit. Thanks!
I just called my husband to pick up some ice cream cones at the store. Thanks for the great idea for today and happy holidays to you and your family.
Love it! What a fab idea…thanks Kelly and Merry Christmas!
Thank goodness for this! My kids are driving me crazy already!!!
So excited to hear how all your little kiddos loved their trees!! Have a very merry Christmas my fellow mamas!!!! xoxo, k.
This is cool. Interesting food project.
