“Have a Very Colorful Purim!” Paint Palette Mishloach Manot

Turn a simple taffy into a mini masterpiece!

We printed a paint palette with “Have a Very Colorful Purim!” and matched each “paint spot” with a coordinating Lil’ Taffy flavor. The bright wrappers become the “paint,” making it look like a real artist’s palette — but way sweeter.

Supplies:

- piece of cardboard
- glue
- tape
- scissors
- palette image from our printable
- Heaven and Earth taffies

Directions:

Glue the palette onto a piece of cardboard, then cut out the palette shape. Tape matching color taffies over the color spots on the palette.

Taffy Clown

We turned Heaven and Earths taffies into the happiest little clown by using the candies as arms, legs, and a body — and topped it off with a big colorful clown face (or let the kids color their own for extra fun!)

Supplies:

- scissors
- tape
- clown face from our printable in either black and white or full color
- markers (optional)
- Heaven and Earth taffies

Directions:

Make a "body" out of taffies: one in the middle and one each side for the arms and again for the legs.

Tape it together. Turn it over and tape the other side too.

Choose a clown face. You can either choose a black and white version and have fun coloring it in, or a colored version. Tape it on, and you have a clown masterpiece!

Loads of sweetness, less of food dyes!

Tape down two fruit jellies, as "eyes," onto the sour slides pack.

Candy Bouquet

Flower bouquets are nice, but a candy one takes all the sweets!!

Supplies:

- Heaven and Earth candy jellies
- Heaven and Earth sour slides
- Heaven and Earth real fruit snacks

Directions:

Take a sour slide and fold it up a few times. Place the skewer through it. Add a few fruit snacks and a candy jelly.

Fold up another sour slide and place it on a new skewer. Take another sour slide, roll it into a circle, and place it on top of the skewer.

Place both skewers into the bag. Tie it with a piece of string/ribbon. Enjoy!
