16 Candy Cane Templates and Templates
A candy cane outline is one of the easiest holiday shapes to cut out, which makes these templates handy for crafts as well as coloring. The set runs from a bare outline and a simple cane to busier versions with a bow and holly, peppermint candies, falling snowflakes, stars, a bell, a heart bow, a pair of crossed canes and a cane standing in a snow mound. One template even has its stripes split into bands with holly tucked between them. Teachers often trace the blank shape onto red and white paper so children can glue on strips in a pattern, which turns a simple craft into a math lesson about repeating sequences. At home, colored and cut-out canes make quick gift tags or tree ornaments when you punch a hole in the hook and add ribbon. Peppermint, the classic flavor, comes from a mint plant that is a natural cross between watermint and spearmint. Kids aged 3 to 5 can manage the simple outline, while the snowflake and peppermint versions give older kids more small shapes.
Cut-out canes for trees and doors
Candy Cane Outline and Simple Candy Cane have thick, clean edges, so they work as templates for ages 3 to 5. Color the stripes, cut the canes out and punch a hole in the hook to hang them on a tree, or tape a row of them around a classroom door. Cute Candy Cane and Fun Candy Cane add a face, a bow and holly for children who want a little more to color before cutting.
Peppermint stripes and holly greens
Red and white stripes are the classic look, but red and green, pink and white, or rainbow stripes all make fun variations. On Fun Candy Cane, dark green holly leaves and bright red berries finish the Christmas palette, and Cute Candy Cane's bow looks festive in green or gold. Simple Candy Cane's wide bands are a good place to practice alternating two colors in a steady pattern.
