Crank up the kid assembly line for this gift-making idea. First, scout out the best place to buy envelopes of by-the-cup hot cocoa (buying in bulk is best). Next, look at the supply list below.
Supplies:
- By-the-cup hot cocoa mix envelopes
- Cellophane bags (large enough to hold kit ingredients and the mug).
- Cute coffee mug to put the cocoa mix envelope in
- Mini Marshmallows
- Ribbon for tying bag closed
Assembly Steps:
- Have your children make separate piles for each item.
- Place one cocoa envelope in each coffee mug.
- Add several marshmallows and/ peppermint stick.
- wrap with cellophane bag
- Tie bag with ribbon.
Fun Add-Ins to Elevate the Gift
- Something to Stir: A cute chocolate-dipped spoon or a small candy cane (doubles as a stirrer).
- Something to Wear: A pair of fuzzy socks or a small knitted hand warmer tucked inside the mug.
- Something to Snack On: A wrapped biscotti, a couple of gingerbread cookies, or a small chocolate bar to eat on the side.
- Something Extra: A small candle or a packet of spices like ground cinnamon or cayenne pepper (for a Mexican Hot Chocolate twist).
*You can also make gift tags to place inside the bags, or attach to the ribbon.
