Kids Christmas Table Find It Game | This Holiday Decorating Idea with Gingerbread M&M’s has THREE functions.  First, it serves as a place card for a kid’s Christmas table then it’s a “find it” game and finally it’s a Gingerbread M&M filled ornament.

These delicious Gingerbread M&M’s found exclusively at Walmart are not just for snacking.  You can also create fun crafts with them like the find it game!  Of course, don’t forget about using them to make a sweet smelling gingerbread house.

Keep the kid’s busy while waiting for Christmas dinner with these cute, easy to make and inexpensive Find It Game Ornaments.  Make each ornament a different game.  That way the kids can play again using someone else’s find it game.  Make it into a race.  Who can find all their items first and win a little prize.

SUPPLIES

3 – bags of Gingerbread M&M’s {Fills 6 ornaments}

6 – large clear plastic ornaments

DIRECTIONS

First, I chose which items I wanted the kids to search for.  Each ornament has different items to find.  Then I added the same items but in different colors.  example: find 1 blue dragonfly, I added many dragonflies but only 1 blue dragonfly.  I also added tons of other items that weren’t on the list.  You can make this game as challenging or easy as you like depending on the age level of your player.

I had so much fun looking for creative things to add to the ornaments.  My favorite was adding just one yellow M&M.

Add the Find It items to the back of the place card.

The taste and smell of gingerbread always reminds me of the holidays.  Have a gingerbread house decorating contest at your next party using candies like M&M’s.
