My First Pinterest Attempt: Santa Strawberries

It was two-ish years ago and I was a nanny. I was trying to think of fun, easy things to do with the kiddos and I found these! Long story short, I'm a control freak and I did all the creating. All the kids did was pick off the eyes and smear the cool whip everywhere. Ah well. I got this experiment under my belt which spawned my interest in Pinterest! (Hehe see what I did there?)

Ingredients:
- strawberries
- cool whip
- something to make eyes out of (chocolate chips, sprinkles, etc)

Instructions:
1) As always, wash the strawberries, pat dry with a paper towel
2) Cut the stem side off the strawberries so Santa Berry can sit, arrange on a plate or whatever you'll be serving them on
3) Cut the tips off the strawberries so Santa Berry can have a hat, set aside
4) Place a generous dollop of cool whip on top of the bottom half (has to be enough to hold up the top!)
5) Place Santa Berry's hat on top of the cool whip
6) Stick the eyes on the cool whip
7) Place little dabs of cool whip on the very top for the ball of the hat, and on the strawberries below the eyes for buttons. All done!

Tips:
- Use a toothpick to help place the ball of the hat and the buttons!
- If your strawberries are too wet, the cool whip will not stay in place! Make sure they're dry enough!
