Fruit & Candy People Party Favors
Kids Craft by KarensVariety.com

Children love to eat any food they have made themselves. Combine fruit and candy to create characters. All that is needed is a piece of fruit, thin craft sticks and a few candies. Have an assortment ready for a child's birthday party. This fellow is made from an apple, marshmallows, gumdrops, smarties and string licorice.

As an alternative, omit the candy and use fruit. Green and red grapes can be substituted for marshmallow arms and legs; raisins for hands and feet. A plum is a perfect sized head.

1. Insert a craft stick into the top of a piece of fruit, one in each side and two on the bottom.

2. Place a marshmallow on the craft stick for the head; two on each side for arms and three on each bottom craft stick for legs.

3. Add gumdrops to the ends of the arms and legs for hands and feet.

4. Lay licorice strings over the head for hair and insert a gumdrop on top to hold in place.

5. The face and buttons can be made by dabbing on coloured icing.
