13. Paper Plate Candy Corn
Celebrate Halloween’s most iconic sweet treat with this bright and cheerful Paper Plate Candy Corn craft. This project is ideal for toddlers and young children, as it focuses on simple color blocking and recognition of the classic yellow, orange, and white candy corn pattern. It is a fantastic way to practice painting within designated lines while creating a bold, graphic decoration.
Take a standard paper plate and cut it into clean, triangular wedges, resembling slices of pizza. Have your child paint or color the tip of the triangle white, the middle section bright orange, and the wide outer edge a sunny yellow. For added texture, you can have them glue down colored pom-poms, torn tissue paper, or buttons in the corresponding color zones. These sweet, non-sticky candy corn slices look adorable strung together to make a bright kitchen banner.
