Directions
Download the candy corn man template, print and cut out the pieces.
Begin assembling your guy by gluing the white piece to the top, back of the orange middle piece.
Next, take the light orange piece and glue it to the bottom, back of the orange middle piece.
Glue the eyes in the middle of the orange section.
Make the candy corn guy’s arms by bending one end of an orange pipe cleaner into a 3 fingered hand. Repeat this 2 times. Cut off a few inches of the opposite end, then tape the arms to the back of both sides of the candy corn man.
Create his feet by bending 2 black pipe cleaners into a foot shape. Cut off a few inches from the opposite end. Position the feet on the bottom of the candy corn and tape into place on the back side.
That’s it!
We think this little candy corn guy is perfect for making with your preschool or kindergarten children.
And, if you really need to simplify it, you can always leave off the arms and legs!
