Almost all children love sweets. Caring for the teeth of babies, parents and other relatives prefer to buy kinder chocolates, candy bars and chocolate eggs. However, instead of just buying a set of chocolates in a box, many prefer to make original gifts from kinder in the form of volumetric compositions or some objects: for a boy - a typewriter, for a girl - a basket with flowers.
Buy a ready-made kit: the pros and cons
You can order a souvenir from Kinder at a company specializing in gifts and floristry. You bring sweets, say what you want to receive, and in a couple of days take away the finished object. However, it’s cheaper and more enjoyable to make everything yourself. By the way, some options are suitable not only for a children's holiday, but are quite appropriate for a family celebration or as a presentation to an adult.

With your own hands you can make completely different compositions and objects. For example, such:
- a car;
- a figure corresponding to the day of the holiday (March 8 or 23 and February, respectively) or the age of the birthday person;
- a guitar;
- bouquet;
- floral arrangement in a basket;
- topiary;
- heart;
- casket;
- multi-tiered decorative cake;
- any beautiful composition.
The choice depends on the amount you have allocated for the purchase of materials and the amount of time you are willing to spend on gifts from the kinder. The more sweet elements you can get, the more effective the product will be, but it can take more than one hour to create it, and it will also take enough patience and desire to create a special souvenir.

Bunch of Chocolate Eggs
If you want to make romantic and feminine gifts from Kinder-surprises, the photo below will easily become a model for you.
To create a bouquet resembling a composition of tulips, work like this:
- Buy the right amount of chocolate eggs, the corresponding number of colored napkins and wooden skewers.
- If you use corrugated paper instead of napkins, you will need to cut it first. You can, in general, make petals of any flower out of it.
- Wrap the chocolate egg in a napkin and secure it below with wire or a floral ribbon on a skewer.
- Wrap the skewer with a strip of green paper, fixing it in several places on the glue.
- Cut leaves from green paper and attach to stems. It is also easy to perform sepals, if you do not have tulips, but other flowers.
- Place the composition in a vase, a basket. It is also easy to lay out the basket from Kinder chocolates on the basis of a frame from a round box or a blank made of a circle and a cardboard strip made independently.
Gifts from "Kinder" and do-it-yourself chocolates: typewriter
Buy sets of chocolates, some bright candies in shiny foil of the appropriate size and a suitable shape for headlights, glasses. If you don’t find the right candy for the wheels, use a round cookie wrapped in cling film or foil.
The sequence of work will be as follows:
- It’s worth starting with the manufacture of a cardboard frame. You need to perform it clearly in the size of the chocolates, so it makes sense first of all to draw the side of the workpiece so that a certain number of chocolates fit vertically and horizontally. The width is better to take the size of one chocolate bar.
- Perform two cardboard parts of the side parts and the connecting element, from which the surface of the hood, windshield of the roof, etc. will be formed.
- Glue the parts with a thermal gun. The bottom part can be made as desired or put a hollow frame on a decorative base. An interesting, but more complex and time-consuming option is to make the frame according to the type of box so that some part, for example, the rear window opens. In this case, you can put a toy or any other gift inside the Kinder machine.
- Paste the chocolate boxes and smooth the surface of the resulting sweeps.
- Glue the frame over with boxes so that brown ugly cardboard does not shine between the glued chocolates.
- Glue the surface of the decorated frame with kinder and other prepared sweets.
- If you wish, you can decorate the car with a beautiful bow, stick a toy driver next to it on the base.
All is ready.
Gifts from Kinder and Raffaello: Topiary
This object is a miniature tree trimmed in the shape of a ball, in this case its imitation of decorative elements.
The sequence of execution is as follows:
- Take a foam ball or make a blank yourself from papier-mâché or in another way.
- Fix in the ball or in the lower part of the rod, which will act as a stem.
- Place the second edge of the rod in a vase, pot, or container and fill this container with gypsum mixed with water to a creamy consistency.
- Hold the core until the gypsum has hardened or secure so that it does not fall or bend.
- Evenly distributing, stick sweets to the surface of the ball, alternating chocolate eggs and sweets.
- You can decorate the surface of the pot with the same combination or choose another material (beads, coffee beans).
- Decorate the side of the pot.
- You can add bows, flowers, feathers, a floral grid to the topiary.
