Junk Food Sculptures

We're loving Christmas vacation and celebrating with a full schedule of playdates this week. We've used junk food sculptures as entertainment for our first two, and so far the creations have been a big hit. I dunno how the parents feel about the activity since the children were expressly permitted from eating the creations until they'd gone HOME. he.he. Something tells me they might not be back to play. ever. again.

To concoct something similar:
Acquire lots of junk food!



For the Christmas trees we used:
graham crackers, green frosting in the tube, marshmallow stars, red and yellow mints, and pretzels.



For the Snowmen, we used:
Donuts, marshmallows, oreos, white frosting (as glue, to hold the body parts together), chocolate chips, rope bubble gum & pretzels

We learned that when you cut marshmallows in half, they cut part remains sticky and will stick right down on the plate, creating a field of snow. We also learned that "licking" is not optional.
