Heart of Candy Canes with a Bow and Peppermints
Coloring guide
Two striped candy canes curve toward each other to make a big heart. Where they cross near the bottom, a ribbon bow with a square knot holds them together, and its two tails hang over the straight ends of the canes. Along the bottom edge sit three swirled peppermints and two small plain round candies in a row. Thick outlines and open spaces work well for preschoolers and early elementary kids with crayons or chunky markers, while the curved stripes give older kids a bit more to do. Red and white stripes with a bright green bow look festive, and pink or red swirls suit the peppermints. Download the free PDF for a classroom project or a weekend craft.
