Every year I have tons of candy canes leftover.
Here is the almost full box this year. So, that means I need to figure out what to do with them. I don't care to eat them. I can handle maybe one and that's it! Peppermint is too strong for me. Not to mention the great amount of sugar involved.
I was thinking about how to use these up and decided to go through the past years Christmas pictures to see what we have done in the past. I also did a pinterest search to see what other ideas I could find.
First I will share what I've done this year and in years past.
This year I discovered a game to play with a deck of playing cards and candy canes called The Candy Cane Game. We played it, but only 2 of us wanted to play that night. It was okay, but got very tedious and boring with only 2 of us. It's definitely a group game. I think it would be awesome with all of us so we'll probably try it again this year with the whole family before the season's over.
A few years ago we tried a game called candy cane snag. A twist on the game of tag. This was a fun outside game. Another group game for sure! I think my favorite part was walking around with candy canes taped on my shirt.
A few years ago I made a "candy cane forest" for the kids to find one day. I used fake candy canes, but I could see this being a fun project or creation for decorations or just for fun.
That's it! I don't really have a lot we've actually done. At least for how far I went back in pictures and my memory. Soooo...
Pinterest candy cane activities I'd like to try:
- Candy Cane Bridges
- Candy Cane Hot Cocoa Pops
- Candy Cane Meringue Cookies
- Candy Cane Scavenger Hunt
- Candy Cane ornament minute-to-win-it game
- Melted Candy Cane Christmas Ornaments
oh! What fun with Candy canes. I could totally see Candy cane snag being a hoot to play. :)
