Preschool Christmas Party

We had a preschool Christmas party at my house this week. It was fun, we played games, read Christmas stories and ate some Christmas snacks.
This was a fun game. I wrapped up giant marshmallows to resemble snowballs and the kids had to try to throw it threw the snowman. After we did the snowball toss, we played "Santa Says".
Then we made snowflake quesadillas


All you do is take a spinach and herb tortilla sprinkle with cheese. Fold a white tortilla in thirds and cut shapes to make a snowflake. Bake or fry until cheese is melted.

Making Christmas bracelets...
Here are some snowman cupcakes I made for the kids.
Here's how you make them...
  • Frost a cooled cupcake, if you like coconut you can sprinkle that on top.
  • Flatten a large marshmallow with the palm of your hand. Cut a second marshmallow in half horizontally, then stack the halves on the first marshmallow to form torso and head.
  • Push a thin pretzel stick down through the snowman(this helps him stand up) then set him on the cupcake.
  • Use decorators gel to create a mouth, eyes and buttons, then add pretzel sticks arms and a wedge cut from an orange slices candy for a nose.
  • Accessorize with a candy hat(a junior mint secured to a thin mint with icing) and a fruit leather scarf.
**After I made these I realized I forgot to put the pretzel sticks on for the arms**
