APPLE SANTA

by Ballard

December 12, 2000

Tradition passes from tiny fingers to large hands. The table is set with an

assortment of building blocks and the creative energy flows. Countless Apple

Santas assembled and devoured over the years, a family celebration of

sharing and laughter.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO SHARE IN THE CREATIVITY:

A large red apple for each Santa designer

One bag large marshmallows

One bag miniature marshmallows

One bag small gumdrops

One bag large gumdrops

One jar cloves

One bag cotton balls

One box toothpicks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suggestions for making an Apple Santa -

Select apple for Santa body

Insert toothpicks into sides of apple for arms and bottom of apple,

extending forward for legs.

Use miniature marshmallows for white cuffs on Santa's arms and small

gumdrops for hands.

Use large marshmallows for Santa's white-topped boots and large gumdrops for

legs.

Play around - these are your works of edible art!

Insert toothpick directly into stem area of apple. This is the base for the

head. Slide a large marshmallow on the pick for the face and a large gumdrop

for the hat.

Tuck a separated cotton ball under the " chin " of the marshmallow head for

beard.

Place cloves on marshmallow face for eyes and nose.

Place cloves down center of apple body for buttons.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY SANTAS!
