With three boys we are always looking for cool boy stuff to do. No pink here!

What's the big craft that many families are doing this time of year, gingerbread houses. It just sounds very overwhelming to me to make one with three boys. So to keep what sanity I still have left we made Christmas trees instead.

What you'll need:
Ice cream cones
Green Icing
Candy to decorate your tree with
Plate of foil covered cardboard (something to put the Christmas tree on)

Step 1
Set your naked ice cream cone upside down on either a plate or foil covered cardboard. We used a plate that had just a bit of a lip to it.

Step 2
Cover the naked ice cream cone with icing. This can be done by either an adult or you can let the kiddos do it. We used white icing, to make it look like snow and then added green sprinkles. If you can't find green icing, just add a few drops of food coloring.

Step 3
Then let the decorating begin!

There is no glue added to the icing everything is eatable and the kids will find that out. Then you have this going on too...

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TREE MAKING!!!
