How to Make Candy Corn Craft
In only takes 10 minutes to make this quick and easy fall craft. Perfect for young children with short attention spans.
If you are doing this with toddlers, cut the construction paper before you start so they just need to glue and decorate the candy corn with faces!
The first step is to cut the edge around the entire circumference of the paper plate to make it flat. Then cut the plate into 6 equal triangles.
After you have your triangles cut out for the candy corn cut a piece of yellow and orange construction paper into 1 ½ inch strips.
Glue the yellow strip to the bottom and the orange strip just above it. Cut the excess paper around the edges. Give the glue a few minutes to dry.
To make the face first cut 2 small circles from the glitter card stock for the eyes. Glue the circles onto the candy corn and press to secure.
Finish the eyes by using a black marker to make the pupils. To personalize your candy corn, give it a smile!
Lastly, glue a wooden craft stick to the back to give it a handle for play or display!
Pro Tip!
