One of the fun things children love to do is make crafts! The feeling of empowerment and pride once it is on display can be amazing for a child’s self esteem, and for you as a parent. Helping a child with special needs be a part of craft fun is one of our goals, which is why we have put together crafts of varying difficulty to help your family get into the Halloween spirit! Today’s craft is a Halloween Candy Corn Picture that may not be the most creative but is DEFINITELY one of the easiest ways to help children with varying abilities dive into the holiday!
Halloween Candy Corn Picture
Entry Level:
Supplies:
- Black, orange, yellow, and white paper
- White crayon
- Glue
- Scissors
- Paint brush
Step 1:
Draw an outline of a candy corn with the white crayon on the black paper.
Step 2:
Cut out squares of orange, yellow, and white paper.
Step 3:
Apply glue onto the outline of the candy corn.
Step 4:
With the paint brush, smear the glue around.
Step 5:
Let the child stick the white squares on the top section of the candy corn.
Tip: If the child is too young to understand the concept of the colors on the candy corn, place the paper up-side down or sideways so the top of the candy corn is closest to the child. This will encourage them to place the tissue paper on the proper section. You can even consider covering the rest of the candy corn so the child only places the paper in the right spots.
Step 6:
Let the child stick the orange squares onto the middle section of the candy corn.
Step 7:
Let the child stick the yellow squares onto the bottom section of the candy corn.
