Bring a little creativity to spooky season with this Candy Corn DIY String Art Kit for Kids! Designed as a fun introduction to string art, this colorful Halloween project lets young crafters create their own handmade decoration with a little help from an adult.

The best part? The pattern is already pre-drilled directly into the wooden board. There’s no tracing, measuring or trying to figure out where each nail belongs. The holes provide a clear guide for nail placement, helping take the guesswork out of traditional string art and making the project much more approachable for younger makers.

The pre-drilled holes also help guide the nails to a more consistent depth, so kids can focus on the fun parts — hammering, choosing their colors and creating with string!

Everything needed to complete the project is included: pre-drilled unfinished wooden board, nails, thread, wooden hammer, scissors and photo instructions.

Make It Their Own

The wooden board arrives unfinished in its natural wood, giving your crafter another opportunity to get creative. Leave it natural like the sample, or paint, stain or decorate the board before beginning the string art.

Thread colors can be customized too! Choose colors from the available thread chart, or enter “colors as shown” to recreate the classic orange, yellow and white candy corn pictured.

This simple Halloween design makes a fun rainy-day activity, fall break craft, Halloween party project, creative gift or screen-free activity to enjoy together.

Recommended for ages 8 and up. Adult supervision is required throughout this project. This kit contains nails, scissors and small parts. Nails and scissors may cause injury if used improperly, and small components may present a choking hazard.

Finished artwork shown is an example of the completed project. Natural wood grain and coloration will vary from board to board.
