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

This is a cute idea. Simple and sweet. My daughter has just gotten interested in building towers. She’ll love this.
Thanks so much Angela. It was a fun one to do with my daughter.
Thanks so much Angela! Have fun with your daughter.
What a fun learning activity! I pinned it and shared on my FB page.
Thanks so much Theresa!
Oh, we’re going to *have* to try this one! Such a great idea for problem solving (and snacking, of course!)
Yeah, definitely not a right before nap/bed time activity :)
