Candy Cane Crafts for Kids

By Noreen Leave a Comment




You can have fun making these candy cane crafts for kids, but keep an eye on your youngsters to be sure they don’t eat them all before you finish crafting!

Candy canes are so bright and colorful that they are perfect for making Christmas projects.

I like to just hang them on the Christmas tree or put them in a fun spot for someone to find.

Most of these crafts will be great for preschoolers, too. Of course, an adult always needs to be nearby to lend a hand.

Candy cane crafts for kids are good enough to eat!
