Candy Cane Ornament
This Candy Cane Ornament one of the easiest crafts you can make with your kids. My son made his first Candy Cane Ornament at only 3 years old (with supervision of course). I first made these with my Mom as a child and now I pass the tradition onto my son. They make a great craft for Christmas parties! I would suggest by age 5 that children could easily make this on their own. Best of all you can make them for very little cost. You can purchase the beads in bulk at your local craft store and pipe cleaners at the dollar store.
I found the beads online at Amazon.com – You are looking for Plastic Transparent Tri Beads. They are really inexpensive. I found a pack of 1000 beads for $7.99 which included free shipping on Amazon Prime.

I made the candy cane ornaments several years ago and added to the bows on the packages. They were a cute addition.
