Here’s a sweet and simple STEAM project for the kids today. It’s an Invitation to Build Gumdrop Christmas Trees. I’m going to be honest here… I thought that someone would have done this project already. So I did a thorough sweep of Pinterest. But nope. No invitations to build Christmas trees like these with gum drops and toothpicks. Kind of like the marshmallow castles, but with a Christmas coating on it. So here it is! Have fun building (we did)!
Gumdrop Christmas Trees
No real instructions here… Just stick the sticks into the gumdrops and see what you can create!
Supplies Needed
- Gumdrops (lots of them!)
- Toothpicks
- Bamboo skewers
