Candy Cane Printable Template
Craft templates are a great way to get creative with kids and a cheap way to do so too, especially at Christmas when a lot of us are trying to be mindful of how much money we spend.
While candy canes can be pretty easy to draw I personally like it when I have the stress taken off me of creating a perfect drawing for my children and if you’re doing craft projects with more than one child then it’s nice not to have to draw the same thing again and again.
Printables like this can be especially helpful if you’re in a preschool or classroom so that you don’t have to draw the same thing 30 times or more!
Candy canes are something that really signify Christmas both for kids and adults and their simple pattern mean that they’re a great one for decorating, as long as you can find something red or white in your house then basically you’re good to go.

How Can I Decorate a Paper Candy Cane?
For this template you can use paper or cardstock to print on but if your craft includes a lot of glue or paint then I’d recommend choosing cardstock so that it doesn’t become saturated, you don’t want your craft to tear.
Coloring – Always the most simple idea and one that’s always popular too. Just grab some markers, crayons or coloring pencils and you can use these as candy cane coloring pages.
Finger print painting – Print your blank candy cane template onto green paper and use red and white fingerprints to colour in the candy cane pattern.
Cotton wool – Make a cotton wool candy cane like this one I made with my children.
Buttons – Print the template onto green paper and stick on red and white buttons to colour in the candy cane.
Pom pom painting – Colour in the stripes using red and white pom poms.
Torn paper – Print the template onto colored paper or cardstock and then cover the candy cane shape in glue. Tear red and white paper into pieces and then stick it onto the different areas of the candy cane. Construction paper is normally really good for this.
Play dough – Place the template in a self laminating sheet and use it as a playdough mat.
Christmas decorations – If you choose to print your template onto cardstock then you could attach string or ribbon at the back with some tape and use these to make card ornaments or bunting.
