Decorated Wrapping Paper

Materials
Food coloring or paint
Paper towels
Bowl to mix colors
Small, flat bowls or pie tins
Cookie cutters or sponges cut into shapes
Plain white wrapping paper
Water
Newspapers

Directions
Prepare the working area with layers of newspaper to protect the counter tops. Mix a few drops of food coloring with a few spoonfuls of water to make a desired color. Fold two paper towels to fit in a small, flat bowl. Pour just enough colored water on the paper towels to make a moist pad. Press the cookie cutter on the pad and then on the wrapping paper.

Edible Snowmen
Marshmallows are held together by a toothpick. Add a licorice strip for the scarf, pretzels for the arms, raisins for buttons, and candy corn for nose. Make and then eat!

Chocolate lights

Materials
Hershey Kisses
Green string
Green floral tape
Plastic wrap in many colors
Glue

Directions
Cut a long piece of green string. Glue the bottoms of two kisses together. Put plastic wrap over the two kisses and bunch up at one end. Pinch the string about three inches from one end; use the green floral tape to wrap around the end of the kiss with the excess plastic wrap and around the pinched string. Continue every three inches with a new "light." Use different colors of plastic wrap for each light, or coordinate them to holiday colors.

Bird Treats
Make peanut butter cookie cutter treats for the birds. Take old bread slices and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Let them dry and harden enough to spread with peanut butter. Cover the peanut buttered shapes with black sunflower seeds and hang outdoors on trees or anywhere birds might be.
