Make Marshmallow Snowmen!

Hey readers,

Winter hasn’t officially started yet, but it sure seems like it with all the snow outside! Whether it’s snowing or not where you live, here’s a fun edible snowman recipe you can make out of marshmallows.

You’ll need:

• Large marshmallows
• Pretzel sticks
• Icing
• Candy for decoration

What to do:

• Use a pretzel stick as a skewer to hold three marshmallows together, making the head and body of the snowman.
• Use the icing to draw a face, nose, and buttons onto the snowman.
• Stick a pretzel stick in both sides of the middle marshmallow to make arms.
• Use candy to create your own creative decorations! You can make a scarf out of liquorice, a hat out of a cookie or whatever else you can imagine.

Have fun snacking! If you make this recipe, make sure to leave us a comment and let us know if you liked it.

Family Tree Craft

Hi readers,

I’m here to tell you about a fun craft you can do with your family. Make a fun and creative family tree!

You’ll need:

• A large piece of paper
• A brown or black marker
• Coloured paints
• A paintbrush
• Your hand

What to do:

• Use a marker to draw a tree trunk and branches, leaving lots of space around them. 
• Paint the palm of your hand and press it down next to a branch to make a handprint. This is your leaf.
• Use a marker to write your name on your handprint.
• Using different colours of paint, add handprints for your family members. Write their names on their handprints.

And there you have it, a family tree made up of your whole family! The more family members you have to include, the bigger your tree will be.

If you make this craft, be sure to send us a picture!
