Directions:

* While they are working on that, cut out the “caramel” from the brown cardstock.
* To finish off the Candy Apple kid craft, staple on the cardstock piece to the paper plate, as well as the popsicle stick to the back.
* Then add other embellishments you see fit {maybe some glitter for sprinkles!} before setting aside the decorated paper plate to let it all dry completely.
* Then display proudly for all to see!
