DumDum Tree DIY

Here is a cute DIY for a classroom incentive. Since I do not have a teaching job right now, I have been using this to reward kids during tutoring sessions. So far it has been a hit and it is REALLY easy to make. I saw this idea in the blogger world, but sadly, I can not remember which blog.

You only need three things! A small flower pot, large bag of DUMDUMS, and a foam filler. I picked these things up at the Dollar Tree, but you can find them most anywhere. This is kind of a fancy/cheap flower pot, but just a regular clay one would be fine. I substituted Charms for DUMDUMS because this is all they had and I wasn't making another stop. And the green foam piece is one of those things you stick flowers in for arrangements to get them to stay. (Can't think of the name, forgive me.)

Push the foam piece down into the flower pot so it is secure. It should fit tightly and stick out about half an inch. Start from the inside, pushing the DumDums down into the foam until it is completely covered. This took me about 3 Charms bags (and I could have used a few more), but one big bag of DUMDUMS should do.

And here ya go. Done. Took about 10 minutes.

What else could you use this DUMDUM tree for? Maybe on your desk at work to share with your co-workers?
