These are just plain fun!!!!

Sprinkles on gumdrops and sweet gummy rings -- these are a few of kids' favorite things. It's easy to turn candy into lively decorations and ornaments. When you cut into a gummy candy, you expose the sticky interior; this built-in adhesive is the primary tool for assembling these creatures. The larger the sticky surface, the better the parts will hold. Set up a table with bowls of candy, and let kids bring the colorful treats to life.
Snails:

These slowpokes can't wait for the holiday rush to be over. Their shells are hard candies; their faces are spice drops fitted with licorice-twist antennae and nonpareil eyes.
