Make a candy cone tree
The premium poster board is .98 cents each at Wal- Mart… it is thicker and sturdier then regular poster board. We used 2 pieces to make 5 trees. First, roll a piece of poster board into a cone shape. Then, use packing tape to secure your cone.

    I love these! I want to make them but I know a certain 3 year old who would probably lick them constantly. Maybe next year! Thanks for linking them up.
