This was created using just the green Reece’s from the bag which has green, red and gold. For a party you could make one of each or intermix and make a big tree. Hot glue them to each other and top with a bow. Would make a nice centerpiece to give as a gift. Let your children help.

If you have hungry squirrels in your area this time of year, you can treat them to a nourishing cold winter snack. First, help your child use a butter knife to coat the outside of a dried corn (available to gardening and pet supply stores) with peanut butter then roll it into bird seed until it is well coated. Set the treat outside attached to a log or to a tree the squirrels are seen in. Then watch the little guys go crazy once they have discovered their new found treasure.
