Your kids will enjoy baking and making Christmas trees using ice cream cones, a cookie, icing and sweets!

Christmas Cone trees
During my preschool teaching days we had weekly “Baking & Making” sessions where we would make all kinds of fun things one could eat afterwards. Needless to say, these sessions were a highlight of the week for the kids!
One of the things we always did near Christmas time, was these Christmas Tree Cones.
Of course, I still do it with my kids during Advent!

Ingredients:

– Ice cream cones
– icing sugar(I use royal icing sugar: whip together 2 egg whites with 1/2 tablespoon of cream of tartar and 1 cup of powdered sugar)
– green coloring
– small sweets(mini marshmallows works best)
– shredded coconut
– another biscuit to stick the cone on

What to do:

First, stick the cone to the biscuit. Then spread icing sugar all over the cone:
Icing
Then, decorate the tree by sticking the sweets to the cone. They had to count to ten before let go of the sweet, otherwise it slid off.
Sticking And there ya go: Christmas Trees you can eat! Cone trees

Such fun! And best of all, they could eat their Christmas tree afterwards!
