Activity: Candy Cane Crafts

Candy canes are more than just a sweet and minty treat you eat around Christmas. You can use them to make edible stocking stuffers, party favors, or ornaments!

Consider the following uses for your extra candy canes:

• Place markers: If you’re hosting a large Christmas dinner, wrap each napkin in red and white ribbon with a name tag. Tuck a candy cane under the ribbon for a cute and festive place marker.
• Candy cane tree: You’ll need a lot of candy canes for this one, but it makes a pretty table decoration for your holiday parties! Place candy canes upright, but upside down, and tape them together in a circle. Make several layers like this — each circle smaller than the next. Stack them together into a tree shape and top with a tiny star or angel!
• Candy cane sleighs: As a party favor, place two candy canes with the curve facing up. Connect the two candy canes with a small piece of cardboard or a wide candy (like a Kit Kat) to create your base. Stack smaller, wrapped candy on top of the base, and gift each guest a yummy, sweet “sleigh.”
• Candy cane Rudolph: Add googly eyes, a red pom-pom nose, and brown pipe cleaner antlers to a candy cane for a cute stocking stuffer or ornament.
