What a super fun & easy craft/treat project!! We made candy kabobs for Valentine’s Day at our MOPS meeting this morning! Seriously, how cute are these?!
Not only are these SUPER easy to make, but they could be adapted for just about any holiday or special occasion–birthdays, Halloween, 4th of July, Christmas, shower/party favors. At parties, it would make such a fun activity station–even little ones can do it (with adult help).
Materials:
- Variety of soft/gummy themed candies
- bamboo skewers
- clear bags
- ribbon
Directions:
- Choose a variety of candies–most used between about 10 & 15 per skewer, depending on candy size. 
- Insert candies onto the skewer, pressing the candies a little more than halfway down on the skewer. Alternate styles, sizes, flavors, and/or colors. Tips: Be careful with the bamboo skewers, the end is definitely really pointed! So, make sure you don’t poke yourself (and this of course, is what kids need the most help with). Also, make sure that the skewer only gets inserted about halfway through the top candy (so that the skewer doesn’t poke out the top).
- When the skewer is full, you’ll have something that resembles this:
- Insert each kabob into a clear plastic bag (one shorter than the skewer is ideal) and tie off with a ribbon!
That’s it! Easy peasy.…and then you have super cute candy kabobs!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Thanks for sharing! I might make some purple and green ones for Aurora’s party, but I am afraid the other preschoolers parents are going to hate me for getting their kids high on sugar,
Haha! Yah…the sugar high is the only downfall.
But, if the kids don’t eat it all at once, they’ll probably be ok! 
Mine only had a piece or two and then were done with it for that time being.
So cute!! Great Job!
Thanks, Laura!
Another FABBULOUS Holiday treat idea. Lovveing them all. Thanks…
Thanks, Carol! Glad you’re enjoying!
so fun, and I like that you can put on what you like, the ones at the store are so costly too.
so so cute! too bad I didn’t find this before Vday … but I could do it for any occasion, right? As long as I“m prepared for my kids to (literally) be bouncing off the walls!
Thanks for the great idea!
Thanks, Sharon! Absolutely–I can see them going with just about any theme!
Hi Sara,
These are adorable! What kind of bags did you use? I know there are skinny bags to use on long pretzels, but these look longer than those, and not wide like many of the clear bags I’ve used for cookies and other items.
Thanks for the idea. It would also be cute if you stuck several of them in to Styrofoam in a cute basket, then put a plastic bag over all of it, then ribbons at the very top to seal it.
Oh my kids would LOVE LOVE LOVE those! I’d love to have you share this with our readers for our Fun Stuff Fridays link up! http://www.toysinthedryer.com/2012/02/fun-stuff-fridays-11.html
