Popsicle Stick Candy Cane
Have I mentioned how much I love candy canes? No?!
I have never met one I didn't throughly enjoy eating, well not a real one. Bubblegum candy canes need not apply.
This is a fast and sugar free candy cane to make with your kids while also teaching them about patterns.
You will need some colorful popscicle sticks ( ours were sent to us from our friends at craftprojectideas.com ), paper, a marker and glue.
Start by drawing a candy cane outline.
Add glue
Start doing your pattern. My son counted all the lines first then decided on his pattern.
Let dry and add to your holiday decor!
