This activity is suitable for youngsters who are just discovering the different ways in which they can create art. Put butter into a few small dishes and mix the butter with different shades of food coloring. Allow students to take bread and spread the colorful butter onto the bread, with your help if necessary. Now, you can toast the bread-and even add some sugar or cinnamon if you'd like. Serve the bread to the children for a snack after the project is completed.
Supply children with foods suitable for making eyes, noses, hair and legs. For example, peas, black olives and cereal all make great eyes and noses. Pretzel sticks, carrots and celery create legs, and curly pasta or broccoli florets complete the hair-do. Provide cream cheese, pizza sauce, honey or jelly for the children to use as glue. Ask them to create a specific image, such as a smiley face, or allow them to build whatever they wish.
Surprise someone with a sundae made entirely of candies. Fill a sundae glass up with wrapped chocolate candies. Put a candy stick that matches the colors of the wrappers into the glass. Use round white candies to act as the whipped cream on the top. Curl ribbons that match the colors and put them on the very top. You can use red and green for a Christmas candy sundae, or light blue and white for a Christening candy sundae.
Make sugar cookies in any shape that you please, such as apples, stars or angels. As soon as you remove the cookies from the oven, insert a stick into the bottom of them. If the cookies are wide or large, put two sticks into the bottom. Let them cool for five minutes before moving to a cooling rack. You can decorate them with icing however you please. Put Styrofoam into a plant pot and add some Spanish moss on top of the Styrofoam. Place the sticks securely into the Styrofoam.
