It’s a classic Christmas kid craft idea that never gets old! We LOVE this Beaded Candy Cane Ornaments idea and we hope you do too!

Beaded Candy Cane Ornaments

This candy cane themed craft is great for older kids and adults to complete {remember – pony beads can be choking hazards so watch younger kids carefully during and after making this craft!}

I love this particular candy cane beaded ornament craft because it only takes a few minutes to make a whole batch at once. It’s even great in a classroom setting because teachers won’t have to provide a mountain of supplies either {maybe a few packs of pipe cleaners and a big bag of beads to complete it!}

I’ve even “toyed” with the idea of just putting the two supplies in a little plastic baggie with a quick paper tag, as a small Christmas gift. You seriously can’t go wrong with this classic Christmas craft idea!!!

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
