Popcorn Snow'people'



Who can resist sticky, gooey popcorn balls...especially when they are rolled into cute snowmen complete with carrot noses? Kalea and Sam loved this activity but true to the children they are, thought the concept of putting margarine on their hands to roll their balls was the most exciting!



All you need:
4 cups popped popping corn
1 cup mini marshmallows
1tbsp margarine
carrots cut lenthwise about 3/4 of an inch long
raisins
pretzels or candy canes for arms
fruit leather for a scarf


Melt the margarine and marshmallows together in a large pot over medium heat. Add the popped corn and mix thoroughly. Wait a few moments once removed from heat. Slather a bit of margarine on hands and roll three balls from biggest to smallest to form the shape of a snowman. Decorate with whatever you have around the house, all that was missing I think was some fruit leather scarves which we will try next time for sure!
