Day 17 of 25 Christmas Crafts

Todays craft was a bit difficult, but we did it! I had to help each child one on one to get it to work, but that is because I choose the harder of the two choices! 

We made candy cane reindeer, but instead of the regular 1 candy cane, we used 2. So, it was a bit tougher. You can follow the same steps using one candy cane to make it a bit easier! 

First I collected everything we needed- candy canes, pipe cleaners, bells, googly eyes, a smartie for the nose, and glue. 
Then we put the two candy canes beside each other and wrapped the pipe cleaner half way up the two of them. Then added the bell, and kept going. 

After the body was done, we did the antlers. Just by twisting the pipe cleaner around the hook of the candy cane! 
Then we glued on the eyes and nose! 
These are great to use as ornaments, to stick on gifts, or just as a snack later! (don't eat the smartie though!)
