How about chocolate raisins? Think that's what a lot of people on here mostly use.

Not sure if the 2 year old would eat them, but our 99p store sells bags of mini dimes. (dimes as in dime bars) They look really like droppings.:rotfl:

EDIT so do crunchy nuggets (Crunchy bar)

We do The Snowman, The Bear and Father Christmas (all Raymond Briggs). Think it's just for me though...

OMG! cant believe you guys have managed to give me 8 pages to catch up on since last night!
Firstly, thankyou all for your help & suggestions for my small xmas dinner table decs, some lovly ideas and i am now spoilt for choice, especially liking the candles & fairy lights, and the cute little reindeer name tags.
Secondly, I vote Polar Express too, my all time fav xmas movie, its our xmas eve family film every year, and this years xmas eve hamper contains a magic bell for little dd, and a polar express story book for eldest dd.
Thirdly, to whoever asked about snowman soup, I do the double bag method, a bag of hot choc (enough for 2-3 servings) inside another cone bag, i then do a layer of crushed candy canes, a layer of marshmallows, a layer of choc chips, and a few more marshmallows, with a whole candy cane tied to ribbon on outside of cone bag. They always look colourful, cheerful and are very well received!
And finally, my dh cleared out the garage today and found some florist foam, he was just about to throw it when i screamed at him that i needed it, when he asked what for i admitted i wasnt quite sure...yet! Anyway, i have since talked myself out of pots of gold, and instead im going to do candy boquets! I hate to see anything go to waste, and i have decided the money i will save on lottery tickets far outweighs the need to buy a few extra choccies and some sticks!

Thanks everyone, none of them like raisins! Will definitely look out for the Crunchy Nuggets! Was considering making my own? Might turn out disastrous :-(

Ditto on Polar Express, we are watching it tomorrow! Got it out weeks ago but never got round to it.

have you heard of poppets?? lots of different types of them you can buy would be nice.
disclaimer:I've not done a price check so you may be able to buy cheaper - i'm sure i've seen them in poundland/ home bargains.
