Snowmen for School

Remember my post about snowy snacks?  I took the inspiration and prepared a couple of fun snacks for the kindergarten party yesterday.

I made the snowmen on a skewer, inspired by the cute snowmen at A Little Tipsy, with a couple of changes.  I used an orange Mike and Ike for the nose and a green Mike and Ike cut in half for the buttons.  A slice of fruit roll-up makes up the scarf, and the eyes and mouth are made from a toothpick dipped in black food coloring and then touched onto the donut.  I wanted to minimize the amount of candy used and simplify the process.  I think they turned out really cute!

Rather than using the snowman milk idea {I love it but I was worried the kids wouldn't like the milk and it would end up wasted}, I wrapped juice boxes in white duct tape and added little black paper buttons.  They fit in well with the snowman theme and they were really simple and quick to embellish.

Thankfully the nasty germs that hit the twins earlier in the week are long gone and they got to attend their class party.  Kindergarten is so much fun!
