Snow Day Fun: Cookie Houses

Winter is here to stay and sometimes it’s just too cold to play outside.  For a fun activity break out some simple ingredients and let the kids have some fun.

Suggested List of Ingredients:

  • Graham Crackers
  • Nilla Wafers
  • Fudge Sticks
  • frosting
  • food coloring
  • ice cream cone (for evergreen trees)
  • M & M’s
  • skittles
  • coconut (for snow)

I gave a few general instructions and then let the kids have at it.   This is what they came up with.  We may have a future architect :) .

Kid’s Silly Bands at Amazon


This morning I stumbled across these zoo animal silly bands at Amazon….they ship free with super saver shipping and free with Amazon Prime.   Kids of many ages are enjoying this latest fad.  These could be good for Operation Children’s  Shoebox, kid’s birthday goody bags, or even stockings.   I don’t know how long the great deal will last (mine was under $2, shipped free with Prime),  so if you’re interested check out soon.
