13. Paper Plate Candy Corn Banners
Celebrate Halloween’s most iconic sweet treat with a cheerful, bright candy corn banner made from simple paper plates. This craft is excellent for teaching color sequencing and pattern recognition to toddlers and preschoolers, resulting in a beautiful garland to drape across the fireplace.
Have your child paint a paper plate in three concentric circles: white in the very center, a bright orange ring in the middle, and a vibrant yellow ring around the outer edge. Once the paint is completely dry, cut the plate into triangular wedges, just like slices of pizza. Each wedge will perfectly resemble a giant piece of candy corn. Punch holes in the top corners of each wedge, thread a long piece of black ribbon through them, and hang your sweet homemade garland for all to see.
