Treats for the Tree

Edible ornaments from FamilyFun

by Barbara Albright
My children, Samantha and Stone, and their friend Celeste had a ball creating these sweet ornaments by using toothpicks to press gumdrops into Styrofoam.

MATERIALS

Toothpicks, broken in half
Gumdrops
2- to 3-inch Styrofoam ball
10-inch length of ribbon

Insert one end of a toothpick into a gumdrop and the other end into the Styrofoam ball. Repeat until the ball is covered with gumdrops. Tie the ribbon around the ball to hang it on the tree.

TESTER'S TIP: Use a Styrofoam cone instead of a ball and create a tree centerpiece covered entirely with green gumdrops.
