These candy cane ornaments craft for kids are super easy to make. All you need is chenille stems and pony beads for this simple Christmas kids craft.
Today, I will show you how to make candy cane ornaments using 2 different techniques. You can make one of them or both.
They are very simple to make. Today was the day that I needed a quick, simple craft to make with the kids.
I have plenty of chenille stems (pipe cleaners) and pony beads on hand. When I was looking at them, I remembered the candy cane ornaments that I made when I was a kid. I think I made them in Girl Scouts.
This Christmas kids craft was the perfect craft to do during this slow afternoon. Both kids loved completing the beaded candy cane ornament the best.
If you are making this craft with a group, supply the kids with red and white chenille stems and red and white beads. Let their creativity and imagination take over.
I hope you enjoy making these classic, simple candy cane ornaments.
