Gumball Tree

Super easy treat to make for the Holidays! Gumball Trees! Who does not like gumballs? I know my children love gumballs and even more, the gumball machines! Gumballs are an inexpensive way to bring colors to your Holiday table!

Material

gumballs, Styrofoam, mini marshmallows, lollipop sticks, a skewer stick{to make holes in the gumballs} and  small containers

Using a skewer stick, poke a hole in the middle of each gumball as the picture shows.

Add as many gumballs as you would like, I made my tree using 3 gumballs. Insert the stick into the Styrofoam, add some mini marshmallows, tie a ribbon and you are done!! So easy, right?

Happy Holidays!
