Pipe Cleaner Candy Cane Ornament – An Easy Preschool Christmas Craft

Pipe Cleaner Candy Cane Ornament – An Easy Preschool Christmas Craft by Denise Willms

No Christmas tree is complete without those red and white Christmas confectionary delights – candy canes. But if you’d rather keep the extra sugar out of the house and away from your preschoolers, here’s an easy and fun Christmas ornament your children can make.

What you need:

Red crepe paper or red ribbon
A white pipe cleaner
Scissors
Glue

What you do:

First, bend the pipe cleaner into a candy cane shape. Then cut a thin strip of the paper. Wrap the strip of paper around the pipe cleaner, leaving enough space so some of the pipe cleaner shows.
Glue the ends of the paper or ribbon to the pipe cleaner. When your candy cane is complete, you can hang it on the Christmas tree or attach it to your wrapped presents. Experiment with different colors to make your Christmas tree festive.
