Materials needed:
green covered wire coat hanger (like those colored
ones with plastic coating on them)
assorted hard candies with cellophane wrappers (that you twist to open)
needle and thread
Simply take the coat hanger and bend and work the hanger part until it is in a fairly round shape. Leave the 'hook' part alone... this is what you'll be hanging it by. With your needle and thread, sew one end of a candy wrapper to the round part of the hanger...keep adding candies and going around the hanger till you have a single layer of candies. Push them back a bit, and add another layer. Keep sewing candies on the hanger until you have many layers sewn around the hanger and you can't see the green part of the hanger. To remove a candy, just cut off the endof the wrapper and slip the candy from the open end.

The smallest good deed is better than the grandest good intention.

Corn roll paintings
Using the feed corn on cob you can buy at the local feed store. Children roll the corn in paint and then roll it onto paper. The ends of these cobs also make pretty flower prints.
Hang them in the hall and see if the families can guess how they were made.
