Class Treat

Made these as a snack for my son's class during MCAS testing. He said the kids all LOVED them!!! Simple to make, healthy & a little sweet too. Just dip marshmallows in some melted chocolate (colored used here), read label & use regular chocolate if there are peanut allergies in child's class. Then put on kabob stick with various fruit. These are really simple & always a big hit. I literally had notes from several parents that their kids were raving about these! Enjoy ~

It's all about the Presentation!

These are some goodies I made for bake sales at the kids school. Some idea's that might help you get ideas. Again, the dollar store tins, lined with cut dollar store plastic tablecloths. You can fill a plastic food bag with 2 brownies & tie with pretty ribbons to gain impact at bake sale. It's also great to add vanilla chips or cinnamon chips to the brownies! How easy is that & the kids/adults love them. These sold like hotcakes!

I also made (easy peasy) colorful lollipops on a stick & added 2 to a bag & tied with colorful ribbon. You can find chocolate, sprinkles & molds/sticks at your local craft store. Very fun for kids to help, quick & people love them!!! Check it out:

Enjoy being creative & impressing with these fun, simple & colorful ideas!

Ideas for classroom treats ~

IDEA: Purchase tin containers at dollar store!

Healthy snack idea: Grapes on kabob sticks (cut sharp ends) alternating with colored holiday marshmallows, strawberries, or anything you can think of. Kids get a healthy treat & a little sweetness! Easy to eat & not messy. I also purchase colored tablecloths at the dollar store & cut them to line trays for easy cleanup & a little festivity if you choose.

White frosting with some food coloring & sprinklers always make a festive presentations!

School Holiday Party Ideas for Room Parents or helpers

An idea for Halloween party:
Buy little clay pots (pretty inexpensive) & a few large bottles of acrylic paint in halloween colors. I brought in orange, yellow, green, purple & black. You can have the kids paint their own halloween inspired pots. You can also have them embellish these pots with glitter, chalk paint (& chalk drawing), stickers or any decoration you can glue on. They could even rim the top with glued on pipe cleaners in coordinating or contrasting color.

When the kids go home, fill the pots with tissue paper & inexpensive halloween goodies. Halloween pencils, candies, stickers etc.to surprise them when they come in the next day. DON'T FORGET TO MAKE ONE FOR THE TEACHER! (: A fun & useful craft the kids can actually use at home to store pencils in at their desk, or plant a little plant in.
