| Santa or Snowman Candy Jar |
 Materials:
- One clean sealer, jar or large glass (no lid needed)
- styrofoam ball large enough to sit on top of the jar and fill the opening
- child's red sock
- googly eyes
- ¼" red pom pom
- 3" piece of red pipe cleaner
- For santa: large handful of cotton balls and a piece of paper
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Instructions:
- Set the styrofoam ball on top of the jar (it will be easier to work
with if it sits still)
- Create a face on the styrofoam ball: Glue on the eyes, the red pom
pom for a nose, shape the red pipe cleaner into a smile and glue it
on. (For the snowman, you can substitute three 1/4" black pom poms for
the pipe cleaner.)
- For Santa: cut a beard out of paper and glue on cotton balls to cover.
Glue the beard to the styrofoam ball.
- Create a touque with the child's sock- turn the sock inside out. At
the ankle (just where the foot joins the ankle) tie the string around
the sock and knot tightly. Cut the foot off the sock about 1/2"
above the knot. Turn the ankle part right side out. Turn up the rim
of the sock and glue the touque on the head.
- Once all the glue is dry, fill the glass or jar with candy and set
the santa or snowman hat on top.
