Primary Subject: Art
Grade Level: Pre-K to 2nd Grade
Objective: To create edible Christmas trees
Materials:
Sugar ice cream cones
Cool Whip
Green food coloring
Various candies
Colored popcorn
Candy sprinkles
Gumdrops
Plastic knives
Paper Plates
Procedure:
Tint the cool whip with green frosting before beginning this project. Distribute paper plates. Provide each student with a sugar cone and a plastic knife. Invert the sugar cones. Students may hold the cones with one hand and ice the cones with the other. Demonstrate how to "ice the Christmas trees." Simply spread the coloring Cool Whip on the sugar cones. Add sprinkles, popcorn and other candies as tree decorations. Eat immediately.
Although this project is great by itself, it can be used to culminate a Social Studies Unit on holiday customs. It is also an excellent "cooking project."
