Directions
- Use a saw or scissors to trim your large tube to the length you want for the candy delivery system.
- Build a support structure from a cardboard box so the tube sits at a slant.
- Fasten the tube to the stand firmly with adhesive or tape.
- Spruce up the slide with spooky designs using craft paint or themed stickers.
- Place the completed slide near your entrance, then send candy down from above so children can collect it at the lower end.
