Candy Christmas Tree Fun!

Before we went on break for Christmas our class made the most adorable Candy Christmas Trees! This is the third year I have done this project and my students always have so much fun! I love this project because the kids can get creative and it is much easier to prep than gingerbread houses. I used waffle cones this year because I was hopeful the trees would be bigger than the sugar cones, but looking back I realized the sugar cones were much sturdier. Check out the pictures of the fun we had!

I wish I had a picture of how the we wrapped up the trees. We used cookie bags and placed the trees inside. We used ribbon to tie them up and the kids took them home. Our rule was that we can eat the leftover candy from our cups, but the trees had to be saved for home. I can't wait to do this fun project again next holiday season!

Here is a list of supplies we used:

white frosting and coconut flakes for snow
green frosting
sugar cones
plastic knives
small containers for candy ( I used Dixie cups)
twizzlers pull and peel candy
small candy stars
holiday plates
plastic cookie bags and ribbon for transport
sprinkles
mini m&ms
other candy of choice for decorating
