A Tree They Can Eat
WHAT YOU NEED
* 12-inch Styrofoam cone * Can of non-toxic green spray paint * Pointed wooden skewer * Toothpicks * 2 bags of Red, Green and Gold foil wrapped NESTLÉ JINGLES (NESTLÉ CRUNCH, BUTTERFINGER, NESTLÉ Milk Chocolate or NESTLÉ Dark Chocolate) * Holiday curling ribbon * Scissors
HOW TO DO IT
* Following directions on the can, spray the Styrofoam cone green.
* Adults only, insert and remove the wooden skewer into the bottom of each JINGLE to create an easy opening for inserting toothpicks.
* Insert a toothpick into the center of the bottom of each JINGLE. (Do a few at a time, until you know exactly how many you will use).
* Starting at the bottom of the cone, begin placing the JINGLES around the cone by inserting the exposed end of the toothpick into the Styrofoam.
* Do a couple of rows of all green foil wrapped JINGLES, then begin to add a red foil wrapped JINGLE here and there to simulate red ornaments.
* Continue up the cone until complete.
* Curl an approximately 24-inch long strand of ribbon, gather at the middle, place on top of tree and secure to the very top of the cone with a gold foil-wrapped JINGLE.
FOLLOW UP FUN
* This cute and easy to make candy tree can serve as a table centerpiece and dessert all in one.
* Create a "forest" of JINGLES trees by making them in different sizes and/or colors, and grouping them together.
All activities should be parent supervised. Parents, please make sure that the tools and items needed for a project are appropriate for your child.
