Taking a break for fun

As we prepare for winter break, it's nice to take a day to have some fun and enjoy being with our friends. On Thursday we spent the day creating ornaments: a candy cane reindeer, a mitten - wreath - or tree, a paper clip angel, we made cards and snowflakes, then we read a book called Stranger in the Woods and created a snowman out of a sock! We revealed our Secret Santa identity to everyone's surprise, and we danced to a DJ as we dipped treats into the chocolate fountain. Everyone in our class was happy and everyone behaved. We work so hard that it's important for us to take some time and enjoy ourselves and our friends. My only regret is that we forgot a camera!
Happy Holidays to all from the M&M's!

Oreo Cookie Turkeys

Supplies: Oreo Cookies, White Icing, Malted Milk Balls, Candy Corn, Cinnamon Red Hot Candies
Directions: Open the Oreo cookie and apply a generous amount of icing to both sides. Stand one half of the cookie up in the icing of the other half. Place the malted milk ball in the middle and fan out the candy corn across the vertical cookie half to resemble feathers. Dab a little bit of icing on the red hot and apply it to the malted milk ball to make a turkey's waddle.
Enjoy your delicious creation!
