We’ve been eating and baking with lots of Easter Candy around here lately. And I just couldn’t bring myself to throw away all of those beautiful glimmering pastel wrappers. Instead, we used them to add some sparkle and shine to your Easter decorations by creating a Candy Wrapper Easter Egg Collage.
We glued the shiny candy wrappers down with regular craft glue onto some polka dot scrapbooking paper. Priscilla loved the sensory stimulation of the crinkly foil wrappers.
Once the glue was dry (which took a while considering the amount of glue she likes to use!), I cut it out into an egg shape for her, mounted it on pink cardstock, and added a Happy Easter note.
Do you think your little one would like to craft with candy wrappers? What would use them for?
