The Preschool Homeschool

October 30th is National Candy Corn Day. If you’d like a little bit more information about the candy corn, you can visit Candy USA for fun facts. In the spirit of National Candy Corn Day, why not create your own candy corn out of yellow, white and orange paper. This is a fun simple craft to go along with any information you teach your child about candy corns. Since this learning lesson is about candy, I’m sure you’ll have a very attentive audience.

Candy Corn Craft:
Supplies

1 piece of construction paper, any color you like. She picked red.
1 piece of white paper, orange paper and yellow paper
1 glue stick
Scissors
Crayons or markers to decorate it

Draw a template of a candy corn on the construction paper. A candy corn is basically a triangle with rounded edges on the bottom instead of pointed edges. Separate the candy corn into three sections with a pencil. Using the template as a guide, cut and size a piece of white, yellow and orange paper to fit inside the candy corn template. Once cut to size, let your child glue the pieces on and the decorate it with crayons, markers, glitter etc….

Here’s a pic of Avlyn with her candy corn…..you probably can’t tell, but this is a candy corn inside a pumpkin with snow falling around it. Happy National Candy Corn Day!!
