Countdown Calander
1 empty matchbox for each day leading up to the holiday. Label the boxes with the dates and then decorate and fill with small treats or notes. Glue boxes onto a piece of poster board. Everyday have family member open box.
Peppermint Wreath
Styrofoam wreath at least 1 ½ inches thick. Attach peppermints in a circle around the wreaths outer edge by sticking pins through the wrapper ends. Add the middle ring of mints next, and then the inside ring. Trim with a bright bow.
Peppermint Plate
Pack a batch of cookies inside this clever wrapping. You will need 2 sturdy white paper plates, red paper, scissors, glue, clear cellophane wrap, and red ribbon. Cut peppermint swirls from the paper and glue them to the bottom of one plate. Put your cookies on the other plate. Place the decorated plate on top. Wrap with cellophane. Tie each end with a red bow
Candy Earrings
Glue a clip on earring back to 1 side of an unwrapped peppermint candy. Let dry. Paint candy with coat clear nail polish to help preserve it.
Minty Melts
Preheat oven to 350. Cover baking sheet with foil. Coat metal cookie cutter with nonstick cooking spray and place it on the baking sheet. Unwrap several peppermint candies and arrange inside the cookie cutter. Place in oven and bake for 6-7 minutes. When melted, have an adult remove the sheet and place it outside to cool completely. Gently pop out the candy and wrap in clear plastic.
