We had a Family Home Evening Enrichment. Here are some of the amazing ideas Jen came up with. The idea is that the treat is the activity as well. She had ideas for every month, but only some of them are here. (As in the better photos)
January- Banana snowman. He has a carrot nose, mini chocolate chip eyes/buttons and an apple hat.
March - mini apple pies (made in mini pie tins)
April - bunny slippers! How cute is this? Marshmallows cut and the sticky parts covered in pink sugar. They have partial or mini marshmallows for ears and tails. Chocolate jimmies and color sprinkles make the eyes and nose.
Roll out the gum drops. Make sure to do this on sugar or you will have very stuck gum drops.
Wrap them around a toothpick
Finished version (May)
Also May - gum drop and cookie flowers
June- Ants on a log, cheese and Chinese noodle bug and peanut butter and banana caterpillar.
July- Marshmallow eagle. He has a cashew nose and coconut feathers. He sits on a cookie base. (see family fun for instructions)
Summer months... ants in the sand
August- beach scene made of graham cracker crumbs on pudding

October - donut-hole acorns
Also October - Pumpkin and Frankenstein pudding (food coloring was used to color the pudding)
November - Cookie turkey
Also November - cornucopia from a sugar cone.
December - Picabo Sweet (skier) see family fun for instructions
Honorable mentions - but didn't photograph well
February- fortune cookies made from pie crust and dusted with pink sugar (write your own fortunes)
July- "sparklers" made from large pretzels dipped in almond bark and covered in sprinkles
August - Dirt cake (well this one wasn't actually there) Chocolate pudding with crushed Oreos on top. Add gummy worms and a fake flower and serve with a shovel.
September - Fish aquarium made from blue Jell-O with Swedish Fish inside. Add rock candy or fruit roll-up seaweed. Let Jell-O set for about 2 hours before adding fish. Be careful not to let it sit for too long. Jen did hers the night before and the fish had gotten quite um bloated?
Amazing ideas. Jen you're wonderful!
