Healthy Homemade Cornocopias

These yummy, semi-healthy kids’ cornocopias are easy and fun to make.  An added bonus?  The kids get to make your Thanksgiving dessert.

Materials

Butterknives

Bowls

Spoons

Serving Platter

Oil Cloth for Work Surface

Ingredients

Ice cream cones

Raisins

Dried Fruits (we like banana chips)

icing (a healthy alternative is vanilla yogurt)

M&Ms (and other colorful candies to your taste)

Cheerios

Trail Mix (or nuts and seeds to your taste)

Steps

1. Set-up: Place your cornocopia ingredients in separate bowls.  Children may then scoop ingredients to their taste into their cornocopias.

Cover the table or work surface with an oil cloth for easy clean up.

2. Give each child an ice cream cone, their own bowl of icing or yogurt, and a butterknife.

3. Show children how to smooth icing into the cone.

4. Add cornocopia ingredients to your preference.  Annabelle loves raisins and cheerios, so she chose those for her personal horn of plenty.

5.  When the children are done, place cornocopias on a display platter for your Thanksgiving feast.  After enjoying your main meal, let the kids (old and young) dig in and eat their treats.
