When life gives you chocolate, make coconuts: Fun Food Friday

May 13, 2011 by Jessica Leave a Comment

We went to an Easter egg hunt that had candy prizes. We don’t eat candy. My son knows to save it for the Switch Witch, who will “magic” it into fun toys or craft supplies.

But this time, we did some magic of our own. The chocolates looked so much like coconuts, we made our own tree! And an accompanying mushroom. Thank you, Tacky Glue and paper clips, for turning candy into craft.

The colored jelly beans, rest assured, were still enough for the Switch Witch to take and leave the boy some good Easter booty.

Coconut tree in progress -- two toilet paper roles, strips of a cardboard box, and scrapbook paper on a shoebox top.

The completed coconut tree! (With mushroom companion)


Coming in for a close-up!

Mushroom made from chocolates. Maybe it goes in a different type of forest, but so what?
