Santa Rides a Candy Cane
Santa has discovered a silly new way to travel. His giant candy cane makes every bump and turn feel like a holiday ride. Color this playful adventure and make the sweet treat look extra festive!
Santa’s Sweet, Silly Ride
Forget the sleigh for a moment—Santa has hopped onto a giant candy cane! Its curved hook and long striped shape turn this holiday treat into a wonderfully wobbly ride. Santa looks ready for a playful adventure instead of a quiet trip through the snow. Where could this enormous candy cane take him? Maybe it is zooming past the North Pole workshop, or maybe it is headed to a peppermint party.
Stripe Up the Candy Cane
Classic candy canes have red and white stripes, so that is a great place to begin. You could also invent a blueberry-blue, green, purple, or rainbow candy cane. Color Santa’s coat red and his beard white, then choose a contrasting color for his boots and belt. Add pale blue snow around the ride if the picture has a winter background. A little gray shading can make the candy cane look round.
Sweet Candy Cane Facts
Candy canes are hard candies shaped like hooks or walking sticks. They are often flavored with peppermint, which has a cool, minty taste and smell. The red-and-white striped style is a popular Christmas treat, but candy canes can come in many colors and flavors. Because hard candy can be tough to bite, younger children should enjoy it carefully with a grown-up nearby. A giant candy cane would be far too big to eat!
