- Orange Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brushes
- White Cardstock
- Small Wiggle Eyes {2 per candy corn friend}
- Kid Friendly Craft Scissors

Directions:
* First grab three craft sticks {three per friend} and glue them together to look like a triangle.
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Repeat for each candy corn friend craft you want to make.
* While that is drying, grab some white cardstock and cut a triangle that will fit inside the craft stick design. This will be the candy corn friend’s body.
* Go ahead and now glue that piece to the popsicle stick shape.
* Now it’s time for paint! Kids will want to add yellow and orange to both ends of the shape, leaving the center area white to create the various layers of the candy corn.
* Set aside to let it dry again.
* With another sheet of paper, cut out FOUR long stripes for the arms/legs.
* Go ahead and fold each up like an accordion.
* To finish off this Popsicle Stick Candy Corn Friend craft, have children glue their paper arms/legs in place on the craft stick shape and top off with any other embellishments they see fit {like glitter glue!}
* Be sure to also glue on wiggle eyes, as well as drawing on a smile with a marker.
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
