This project, the Candy Cane Craft Candy Cane Sleigh is easy to make. This is a great craft for kids - well its fun for the whole family if you can get some of the candy onto the sleigh instead of in your tummy they look even better!
Material needed for Candy Cane Sleigh
Two candy canes
one regular size Hershey bar or other candy bar
wrapping paper
curling ribbon
decoratively wrapped christmas candies
hot glue *used under supervision!
Instructions for your Candy Cane Sleigh:
The first thing you need to do is to make the sleigh: Plug in your glue gun in a safe area; clean kitchen counter works well (high up from kids). Wrap your Hershey's chocolate bar with paper. To assemble sleigh, you want to make a line of glue on the bottom of the wrapped bar, on the long side but still underneath. Before the glue cools, press candy cane onto it, being sure the hook is over the candy bar (see photo). Do the same with the other side. Now you may unplug hot glue gun.
Wrap the miniature candy one at a time, or in bundles. You can see in the photo I also took a square of cellophane and placed some kissables in and pulled up the sides, and tied with a ribbon. This works well with loose candy (gumdrops, M&M's). The Christmas candy is usually already wrapped festively so you don't need to wrap them if you don't want to (great for kids too).
Once wrapped, "presents" can be taped on (tape loop) in any way you wish. Use your imagination! You could add a "rope" to pull the sleigh. My husband suggested a miniature chocolate foil Santa in the front. These make great gifts, and fun to make at family gatherings! Kids make them while the parents snack on the extra candy.
