Today I am sharing my December Dollar Tree STEM Boxes. With Christmas just around the corner we have all kinds of treats around the house. I decided to challenge the kids to use these treats to complete some fun December STEM projects.

Challenge #1: Make a Christmas Tree

Suggested supplies:

Sugar cones

Frosting

Green food coloring

Assorted candy

We used: Red Hots, Reese’s Mini Cups, Reese’s Pieces, Mike and Ikes, Rolos, and M&M’s

This was a super easy edible craft. I think all three of the children had fun making it. Even Kenten who thinks he is too cool to do a lot of these projects now.

Challenge #2: Make marshmallow snowflakes.

Suggested Supplies:

Mini marshmallows

Toothpicks

Miss Julia had a lot of fun creating her marshmallow snowflake. I think she may have ate more marshmallows than she actually used to complete this challenge though (ha).

Challenge #3: Make a candy cane maze.

Suggested supplies:

Candy canes

Paper plates

Christmas erasers

Hot glue gun

Replacement glue sticks

This was Jack’s favorite challenge… Mainly because he got to use the hot glue gun by himself. He may or may not have burnt my fingers multiple times during the process.
