Good morning everyone! I have a super cute and easy gift idea for you this holiday season! These are a great project for kids to give to their friends and teachers!

Supplies:

  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Hot Cocoa dry mix
  • Plastic frosting bags & baggie ties (I found these in the baking isle of Walmart.)
  • Google eyes
  • Red pom-poms
  • Glue
  • Pipe Cleaners (Any color will do, but I suggest brown or silver! We used green because thatโ€™s what we had on hand.)
  • Optional: If you canโ€™t find frosting bags, you can also use clear mason jars!

Step 1: Using a small measuring cup, fill your baggie about 2/3 of the way full with hot cocoa mix.

Step 2: Top off the bag with mini marshmallows and secure your bag with a tie.

Step 3: Decorate your baggie! We glued on google eyes, a red pom-pom nose, and then tied some antlers to the top using pipe cleaners.

We found this cute little basket at Michaels, and thought it would be a fun way to deliver our gifts to the neighbors!

Alternative: If you have older kiddos who think Reindeer are too silly, you could always use a mason jar, then decorate it with some twine and a candy cane! Or you could also add eyes, nose, and antler to the jar too! Itโ€™s totally up to you. Let the kids get creative and have fun making these simple and fun gifts for their friends!
