Truffula Trees - Dr Suess

During our persuasive writing unit, my grade 1s had to write to the once-ler persuading him to stop chopping down the truffula trees. Once we completed the unit, I decided to treat them with truffula tree treats! I made them cupcakes, covered them with green buttercream frosting, stuck a pretzel stick in the center for the trunk, covered the tip of the pretzel with a little more icing and then added the cotton candy on top. ADD THE COTTON CANDY right before you serve them as it tends to 'melt' quickly during packing and transport. The kids LOVED them!
