Celebrate National Gumdrop Day

By Cindy Hopper

February 15th is National Gum Drop day (seems like there’s a holiday for everything and we like this one!) There is no better way to celebrate this sweet holiday than with a little gumdrop building! All you need are gumdrops and toothpicks.

Poke the toothpicks into the gumdrops.

The gumdrops will hold the toothpicks together.

Amazing structures can be created! And when you are finished you can have a sweet snack!

Cindy Hopper was fortunate to be raised in a family who appreciated the arts. This background led to a Bachelor’s Degree in Art Education. With a keen eye for design and color, Cindy has continued her love of art and is now passing her creative skills on to her three children. Cindy’s family and friends are the beneficiaries of her passion for fun and meaningful creative projects.

Cindy’s personal blog, Skip to My Lou, has taken her love of a project to new levels. Postings keep the family busy -– from testing new recipes for holiday treats to designing and building floats for a neighborhood parade to making fabric rolls to hold crayons to creating themed parties. Cindy seems to have an unending supply of ideas for gifts, parties and rainy days.
