There’s nothing like opening a fresh box of crayons!
Color a child’s day brightly with these adorable Candy Crayons.
These candy crayons are a super cute back-to-school edible craft. They can also be used for a birthday party or any other fun occasion.
We prepared a free printable and also provided directions for your own DIY “crayon box,” which can be used as a coloring activity or to personalize any way you want.
Wishing all children a bright, colorful, and cheerful school year!
You will need:
- crayon box printable (optional)
- cardstock
- raspberry flavored sour belts
- strawberry flavored sour belts

Directions:
1. Print the free printable, if using, and cut out. See directions below for making your own box.
2. Using kitchen shears, cut the sour belts down to about 4½ inches (11½ cm). Cut off the corners of one side to resemble a crayon.

4. Seal bag.
To make your own box:
1. Cut 2 pieces of cardstock to 3½x5 inches (9×12½ cm).
2. Draw a semi-circle on top of one of the pieces of cardstock. You can use a plastic cup as a guide.
