Candy Art: Create Sweet Art with Fruit Candies!

How to use this worksheet

Show your child the example pictures of the car and airplane made from candies so they know what shape to aim for. Give them a handful of fruit candies and a sheet of paper, and have them arrange the candies to outline the shape of the car first, following the example as a guide. Once satisfied with the placement, move on to building the airplane shape the same way. Take a photo of the finished candy art before anyone starts snacking on the materials.
