Up, Up & Away, Candy Airplane
Valentine's day is right around the corner, so I've been searching for a creative, fun craft I could do with my son. I came across an adorable picture of a "candy" airplane on Pinterest and decided to give it a whirl!

Materials Needed:
Smarties
Life Savers
Gum
Cardstock
Small Rubberbands
* * * * * *
Instructions:
1. Thread the rubber band through the holes of the two Life Savers, then balance the roll of Smarties between them (across the rubber band).
2. For the wings, wrap two sticks of gum in card-stock. The card-stock helps with stability. Next, balance the sticks of gum on top, perpendicular to the Smarties, then pull up & over the rubber band on each side of gum, to hold in place (Note, this particular step is a little tricky and you may need an additional set of hands for help).
3. For the final touch, add a personal message (using card-stock). Hole punch, then thread onto the Smartie wrapper. And, Viola! You have a fun family craft! Sure to be a hit at your child's Valentine's Day party!
Do you have any fun family "candy" crafts? I would love to hear about/see them!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a great weekend!
