Start by having the kids put the rocks in the cup or vase. Then cut your gum drops in 1/2 and stick it on the dowel. Next poke the cookie on the dowel and the other 1/2 of the gum drop on top to hold the cookie in place. Then cut out some leaf shapes and hole punch a couple of holes for the kids to thread through the dowel. Make a few of those, stick them in the rocks and tie a ribbon around the vase. Then you can have your kids help you to deliver it to your neighbor or someone in your ward who might need their day brightened.

That is such a good idea! That would be so fun to do with the kids. I'm totally going to do that.
CUTE idea!
I really like that idea, too. Good for those I visit :o)
Thank you for this great idea. I am going to have my nursery kids make cookie bouquets for their moms Sunday for Mother's Day! They will think that Sue and I are so clever. This is great!
Just so you know - you haven't lived until you have made cookie bouqets with 12 kids 3years old and under. It was fun but exhausting. I had to modify it a bit since I knew rocks would be flying through the air and cookies would be falling all over the place. I used a plastic drinking cup and put 1 can of play dough in each cup. The kids helped push the gum drops and cookies on to the sticks and they helped thread th leaves. I had preattached the bows to the cups. They were fun and the kids loved them. Most of them wanted to eat the flowers. Great fun. Thanks for the idea.
