Description

Edible Christmas ornaments are fun to make and recyclable... what is more children would enjoy getting them off the tree. Ask their help to tidy up and this time they would be delighted.

Ingredients

1 package
m&m (assorted colors)
   
plastic wrap
   
pipe cleaner
   
ribbon

Instructions

  1. Cut plastic wrap into 6-inch squares. Place a bunch of m&m's in the middle. Gather corners and twist tightly. Secure with pipe cleaner.
  2. Cluster individual balls into one large one, connecting each ball with the adjoining pipe cleaner. Tie "curling" ribbon around the cluster to form a loop at the tops.
  3. Tie two 10-inch strands of ribbon at the bottom and curl. Hang on the tree with the loop ends.

Notes

You could get m&m's in Christmas colors, orange and black for Halloween, pink and red for Valentine's Day, green for Saint Patrick's Day, or yellow for Easter.
Substitute m&m's with jelly beans, gumdrops or your favorite candy.
