Gift Craft

I decided to have the kids help make some little gifts for our neighbors and friends this year.
We found this one in one of the kids' magazines.  First they sorted some Fruit Loops by color into baggies.

 Once separated, they crushed the cereal into a powder, or close to it at least.

 They might have had a little fun smashing them to bits...

 ...just a little!

 Then they filled cleaned-out baby food jars with layers of the powdered cereal.

 The only thing I would do differently is to have the kids make thicker layers of each color so the rainbow layers are more pronounced.

 And if you decide you are crazy enough to try this project, make sure to have your vacuum hose handy, as I found it the fastest way to clean up the crumbly mess.

Then I finished it off with a label that says: "This happy little jar of sweet toppings is perfect for your yogurt, ice cream, or oatmeal.  Whichever way you choose to eat it, gobble it up quickly!  Hope you enjoy and have a blessed Christmas."
