Crafts for Christmas

 

  Gathered up all the ingredients for Snowman Soup and one curly  headed girl for assistance and made Snowman Soup bags :) We used instant hot chocolate packets, marshmallows for the snowballs, chocolate chips for the snowman kisses (Kaya said it was coal lol) and put them all in baggies. We then printed out our labels complete with Snowman Soup poem and used a hole punch to make the hole, slid the ribbon through the hole/label hole and attached a candy cane :) We decided to also add something special.

 With my adorable assistant we dipped leftover spoons from her bday party (they had never been used lol to clarify that lol) into melted almond bark (chocolate) and let dry. Then we redipped them for a good coating. We wrapped them in plastic wrap and tied them with the ribbon to the package. When they stir their hot chocolate the chocolate on the spoon will melt too ;)

 Our finished product! Love how they came out!! Kaya was super impressed and even more excited because I "accidently" ;) made an extra dipped spoon for her :)  Giving these to the dental office staff, the mail lady and to round out some other homemade gifts :) 

  I loved the simplicity of the project, getting to work with Kaya and the fact that sometimes after a long day a cup of cocoa is what someone needs!! I know many nights I do when it's cold. Also love that it teaches Kaya to give to others and to use her head and heart behind a gift not just money.
