This first candy cane ornament uses melted candy canes. This is a great idea if you have broken pieces!
This second candy cane craft in the kitchen uses old fashioned salt dough. This was so fun to do with my son. We loved salt dough.
My kids loved painted pasta shapes. They enjoyed gluing them on construction paper to form pictures. This also an excellent idea to create candy canes with them.
I never realized that you could make candy canes with all sorts of different materials. This craft uses burlap. So different and awesome!
How about buttons? What a creative idea. I love it!
Any kind of personal souvenirs from my small children always pulls on my heartstrings. These candy canes made from your child’s fingerprints are sure to make you smile.
Break out the paper and markers for this next one! My girls love markers especially the bright neon colors.
I love doing jigsaw puzzles. Unfortunately, my kitten likes to play with the pieces too. The last two puzzles I’ve done I’ve been short of pieces. This would be a great way to use the pieces of my unfinished puzzle!
This idea is perfect for little hands that want to “sew” like Mommy. You can’t go wrong with this craft!
Don’t forget the pipe cleaners!
Or the beads!
Now this next craft uses the candy cane as the trunk of the felt Christmas tree. So cute.
This clear ornament is so pretty. Inserting a small candy cane makes this so unique.
Don’t forget to make a complete new creature out of your candy canes. Remember these reindeer? These will never go out of style.
When doing crafts, who can forget some science? Ever hear of making candy cane shapes out of homegrown crystals? Really neat!
Wow! Such a great list of resources and a great lesson about the candy cane. I knew some of it but you taught me some more.
Thank you, Yvonne!
There are so many lessons with the candy cane. Thank you for sharing them!
You’re welcome, Charlotte!
So many ideas and options for your own style of ornament. I like the recitation that you mention at the beginning. Neat.
Thank you, Lori!
I love all the different options for making candy cane ornaments – I will have to see if we can do any this year.
I understand, Kristen. So many ideas and so little time!
Great ideas! I have talked about candy canes with my older children but should take the time to go through it with my six year old this year.
Thank you, Dawn!
