With Christmas fast approaching, I thought it would be nice to look at ideas for making some special decorations for the tree as well as some edible goodies which will provide wonderful Christmas presents for friends and family.
I made these treats last year and they were a big hit with children and grown-ups alike. Our Christmas tree was surrounded by people admiring, touching and commenting on our eye-catching and original decorations. Children can be involved with making most of them - and they provide a refreshing break from the same old boring tinsel and baubles!
I hope these decorations and treats sound enticing enough for you to get in the kitchen and make them with the children. They are really simple, but a little planning beforehand is a good idea. Please take special care when using sharp knives and scissors and the spray paint, as there is always a risk of accidents.
