Anything else easy to make and sell?

Ideas for stalls?

I am new to this so need lots of ideas.

Peppermint creams in little boxes.
Lavender bags - circle of fabric with lavender inside tied with ribbon.
Photos of the children from each class laminated and made into fridge magnet.

homemade chocolate truffles in little boxes, ditto cookies and simple xmassy iced biscuits. little bags of pic n mix sweets for stockings..? hobbycraft sometimes have the little bags in the sale if you have one near you..

I did reindeer food last year - made cones from wrapping paper to put it in, printed off the poem and stuck this onto the paper with a bit of curling ribbon.

Porridge oats, glitter, cheap wrapping paper, sellotape, curling ribbon can all be bought for next to nothing!

Good luck!!

Could you explain the reindeer food thing?

Mix porridge oats up with glitter, add this message;

Sprinkle on the lawn at night
The moon will make it sparkle bright
As Santa's reindeer fly and roam
This will guide them to your home.

The DC then sprinkle it outside on Christmas Eve to help Father Christmas find your home - aaaahhhh!!!

It really is a very magical thing to do (as long as it isn't raining! )
