What You’ll Need for Marshmallow Snowman and Snowflake Winter Craft:
- Marshmallows: Large and small sizes
- Candy: Chocolate chips, gumdrops, or candy canes
- Toothpicks: For connecting marshmallows
- Pipeable Frosting: To add details to your creations
- Mug: To serve your hot cocoa
- Hot Cocoa: A delicious base floating your marshmallow creations
Instructions for the Marshmallow Winter Craft:
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Start by gathering all of your ingredients and tools. Make sure you have enough marshmallows, toothpicks, frosting, and candy for decorating. Also, prepare a mug for your hot cocoa, which will be the final step.
Step 2: Make a Marshmallow Snowflake
Let’s start with the marshmallow snowflake. Take one large marshmallow and insert toothpicks all around it, spacing them evenly. Aim for about 8 toothpicks to form the “branches” of your snowflake.
Step 3: Finish the Marshmallow Snowflake
Once the toothpicks are in place, add smaller marshmallows to the ends of the toothpicks. This will give your marshmallow snowflake a fun, frosty look and make it perfect for floating in your hot cocoa.
Step 4: Create a Snow Animal
Get creative by making a marshmallow snow animal! Use a large marshmallow for the head and smaller marshmallows or candy for the ears and a nose. Add chocolate chips for eyes and use piped frosting to make a mouth and other features.
Step 5: Make a Snowman
Next, build a classic marshmallow snowman! Stack three marshmallows on top of each other using toothpicks to hold them together. Use candy canes for arms and chocolate chips or other candies for the eyes, buttons, and mouth. Don’t forget to add a little scarf with frosting or ribbon for extra charm!
Step 6: Make the Hot Cocoa and Decorate
Prepare your hot cocoa according to the package instructions. Once your cocoa is ready, decorate the top by floating your marshmallow creations right in your mug. The marshmallow decorations will add a festive and tasty touch to your drink!
This Marshmallow Winter Craft is a simple and delicious way to celebrate the winter season. Kids will love creating and enjoying their sweet marshmallow designs in a warm cup of hot cocoa. Whether it’s a snowy day at home or a cozy holiday gathering, these marshmallow creations are sure to bring smiles.
