2 Star Idea Rating

Appropriate age group(s):
Preschool and Younger
Elementary School

Estimated time to make this decoration:
1/2 hour

Materials:
1 pack of Wrigley's 5 piece stick gum
4 round peppermints
2 Starburst
1 candy kiss
1 Hershey bite size nugget (candy bar)
hot glue gun
HAPPY GIGGLING KIDS!!!!

Instructions:
Hot glue the four pieces of peppermint candy to the sides of the Wrigley's gum pack one on each side, this will make the gum stand up on the wheels. Then take the 2 Starburst, hot glue them on the end of the gum, on top, not the side, this will make a car seat. Then hot glue the Hershey bite size nugget candy bar in front of starburst, that will leave enough room to glue the candy kiss behind that at the end. Presto, you have a candy train!

Other comments or suggestions to consider:
PEPPERMINTS TO STAND UP LIKE WHEELS, ATTACHED TO GUM LIKE THIS 0-----0.
STARBURST TO ALSO STAND UP BACK TO BACK WITH EACH OTHER, MINI CANDY BAR TO LIE DOWN, AND KISS TO STAND UP.
