First, guide your child to glue the black background pieces to the flap and main portion of the brown paper bag.

Trim off the portion of the brown paper bag that extends past the black paper.

Create the candy corn guy’s lower half by gluing the legs to the bottom and back of the yellow portion of the candy.

Next, help your child make the middle portion of the candy corn by gluing the arms on both sides of the back of the middle orange piece.

Now, help your child take the lower body and glue it to the main portion of the paper bag so that the legs hang off the paper bag a little.

Take the completed orange midsection and glue it slightly on top of the yellow bottom portion.

Make the candy corn man’s head by gluing the eyes to the middle of the head.

Place the cheeks on either side of the mouth and glue them in place.

Finally, encourage your child to glue the white head to the flap portion of the paper bag.
