Candy Corn Juice Boxes using Duck Tape

I thought I had signed up to bring a sweet treat for my son’s Kindergarten class Halloween party. I was all geared up to bring individual servings of spooky worms and dirt, until I decided to actually double check the sign-up sheet. Sure enough, there was my name, in my own writing, next to the “juice”.

I am not sure what I was thinking the day I signed up, as I’d much rather try my hand at making a fun baked treat then bring in juice boxes. Juice boxes aren’t inherently exciting, so I knew I gave myself the challenge of coming up with a fun way to make them Halloween themed.

I had my son help me look on Pinterest and amongst the mummy wrapped and jack-o-lantern themed juice boxes, he zoned in on this cute Candy Corn inspired versions by Meaningful Mama.

I wasn’t keen on the idea of cutting paper strips and gluing them all on to 27 juice boxes, so it was a happy realization that Duck Brand tape* comes in the 3 colors I needed. The tape strip sizes worked well and I loved that how easy it was to stick around all sides of the boxes.

To make your own candy corn inspired juice boxes, you will need:

Juice boxes
1 roll each of white, orange and yellow Duck Tape
Hot Glue
Googly eyes
Black Permanent marker

Candy Corn Juice Boxes made with Duck Tape

Directions

Remove the straws off the juice boxes and set aside.
Put a strip of white Duck Tape around the top of your juice box.
Put a strip of yellow Duck Tape along the bottom edge of the box.
Add a strip of orange Duck tape to the center of the box – overlapping the white and yellow strips.
Using your hot glue gun, glue two eyes to the front of your box and tack a straw back on to the back of the box.
Finish by drawing a smile on under the eyes with the black permanent marker.

Because it was for his class, I had my son help out and draw each of the smiles on. It was a fun little activity for us to do together and he is excited to bring the Halloween themed juice in for his classmates. All in all I would say it is a pretty good transformation for a few packs of boring juice boxes and some tape!

And I guess the worms and dirt will just have to wait for the next class celebration so long as I sign up next to the right category. 😉
