Activity:
Candy Corn Candy Holder
Big and bulky bags hold a lot of candy, but they're not very or fun to look at or tote around. In this activity, your child will make a candy corn holder that's perfect for carrying a very small amount of candy. While creating his candy holder, your child will practice making a cone shape from construction paper in different sizes. Once a paper handle is attached to the finished cone, you've got the perfect portable storage space for all kinds of delicious lightweight treats.

What You Do:
- Help your child make a large cone by taking a full sheet of construction paper and twirling it inward from one corner. Once a cone shape is accomplished, ask him to staple it in place. Cut off the excess paper.
- Cut a sheet of paper in half and repeat step 1 to make a smaller cone.
- Ask him to place a couple of strips of double stick tape on the inside of the smaller cone and gently fit it over the first cone shape. Then, press the two cones together.
- Have him add a third cone if he's so inclined.
- Lay a sheet of construction paper on the table and show your child how to measure a 1.5" x 11.5" strip of paper using a ruler and a pencil. Ask him to cut along the line you marked to create a handle.
- Help him staple the handle to the inside of the candy bag on opposite sides of the cone.
