Advent Day 12

Make Peppermint Ornaments

Today we spent our morning making personal peppermint ornaments.  A simple craft for kids to do that turn out really cool, are super easy to do, and make the Christmas tree smell wonderful!


Instructions:

1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
2. Lay down metal cookie cutters
3. Spray the inside with non-stick spray
4. Lay peppermints into cookie cutter, the more the better
5. Bake for 3-9 minutes at 350
6. Once they melt, remove from oven, spray toothpick with non-stick and make holes in each ornament
7. Let ornament fully cool, and slowly move cookie cutter to release ornament. :)




















Word of Advice: you may want to make more than one ornament per child in case your child drops it on the kitchen floor, ornament will shatter :)  Poor Ian!
