Candy Wreath

Greet visitors to your door with a sweet wreath made from candy and ribbon. This colorful candy wreath creation is easy to make and fun to display -- and you and your child can eat the leftover candy when the project is finished!

What You Need:

• 2 large paperclips
• Duct tape
• Christmas ornament hook
• Ribbon
• Round hard candies with a hole in the center

What You Do:

1. Help your child open up two large paperclips. Bend it flat until the entire clip is stretched into a straight line.
2. Have her overlap the ends of the two paperclips.
3. Wrap a small piece of duct tape over the overlapped section.
4. Let your child curve the paperclips until they form a circle.
5. Show her how to "thread" the paperclip through the first hard candy.
6. Have her place candies on the paperclip until almost the entire length is covered.
7. Wrap a piece of duct tape around the other two overlapping ends of the paperclip circle.
8. Help your child attach a Christmas ornament hook at the top.
9. Have her tie a ribbon around the base of the ornament hook.
