Rainbow Candy

 The last Friday of Spring Break, which also happens to be the Friday before Easter, I saw a video on my facebook for Rainbow Candy. It looked easy enough, mess free enough, and fun enough that I thought we would go for it. This decision sent me to craft store for supplies that I have honestly never purchased before.

This project required candy melts, I chose the vanilla since we would be coloring them, and the candy coloring. I purchased the sprinkles at the grocery store. The cookie sheet came from the Dollar Tree, I have plenty of these.

What you do is melt the wafers and then split the mix into different containers so that you can add the colors. Then you dip the colors out onto a cookies sheet. After you get them blended how you want, add sprinkles then freeze for one hour.

My kids were really excited. They watched the video at least a hundred times before we made it to the craft store. Once we got home with the supplies, they wanted to jump right in and the excruciating wait to finish eating lunch was almost too much for them.

Once the colors were mixed, I let them do the entire craft pretty much by themselves. I assisted where needed, but I wanted this to be their own.

 They loved this! The purple and blue were very dominate colors, the next time we do this craft I am going to find some different colors.

This is the start of the one I did.

 

Right before we put it in the freezer.

When they came out of the freezer, they just slid right off of the cookie sheet.

This is definitely something that we will do again.
