Holiday Plans with Children

Who likes to get crafty with their kids during the holidays? Since they'll be off from school, it's a great time to catch up with them while doing arts and crafts. I made a few holiday projects with people at work using the ideas from safeway.com/holiday.... and I was thinking how some kids could find this really fun. One of my favorite ones we did was the Festive Candy Ornaments. Since I can't attach any of my personal pics, here's a pic from their site

What you need:

Gumdrops
Peppermint Lifesavers
Breath mints
Mini-marshmallows
Licorice whips
Toothpicks
Fruit snacks
Ribbon or hook

1. Licorice Ornament: Snip ends off 1 licorice whip; thread on fruit snacks, then thread ribbon through hollow center, snip and tie in a bow.

2. Gumdrop & Marshmallow Snowflakes: Use toothpicks to pierce gumdrops, Lifesavers, and marshmallows. Hang with hook.
