OUR FAVORITE CRAFT IDEA:
Christmas Train - from
Kid's Domain
Make ornaments or decorations using an assortment of candies - a train,
a race car, a plane, or a reindeer. These can be hung on trees, tied
to packages, or used as decorations on a table. Young children will
need supervision with the low temp hot glue gun, but it works a lot
better than craft glue.
What you Need:
- Low temp hot glue gun
- Ribbons or yarn for hanging
- 1 large package of gum (1 1/4" x 3" x 3/4")
- 4 round wrapped candies (I used peppermints)
- 1 shiny wrapped candy about 1 1/4" long
- 2 mini chocolate bars (1 1/2" x 1" x 3/8") I got mine from Hershey's in a big bag
How to Make It
- Glue the shiny candy to the front of the gum pack as a bumper. Wrap the extra wrapping around the edges of the pack.
- Glue the 4 round candies on as wheels.
- Glue the 1 candy bar on the back half of the car, allowing it to stick off the back by a 1/4 of an inch or so.
- Glue the other candybar across the back of that candybar, having at least 1/2 of it extending past the edge of the lower candybar. Look at the illustration and experiment.
