Edible Playdough

Edible tree

Using a styrofoam cone, poke toothpicks over cone with at least an inch of toothpick sticking out. To make a vegetable cone, cook vegetables several minutes to make softer and easier to stick into toothpicks. Poke vegetables into toothpicks creating a edible vegetable tree. Try broccoli, cauliflower, carrot chunks, cherry tomatoes or cucumber chunks. (don't cook tomatoes or cucumbers)

To make an edible candy craft tree use marshmallows, colored or white, circus peanuts, gum drops or gummy candy. Any soft candy works well.
