Pony Bead Candy Canes

I did this pony bead candy canes 2 years ago. I honestly thought I had turned it into a post, but apparently, I didn’t.

Make sure you follow my Christmas board on Pinterest for more ideas. Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

To do this pony bead candy canes you will need:

pipe cleaners
pony beads
Bowls

Add your beads to your bowl, for convenience (and because I had plenty of time to kill as the kids were all at school) I separated the different colours into different bowls.

Next cut your pipe cleaners in half.

I set this activity up for the little ones I was looking after at the time as an after-school activity. All they needed to do was make candy canes by threading the beads onto the pipe cleaners.
