My son's school classroom calls themselves the MIGHTY MANATEES. Being the crafty family that we are we decided to make good use of all the plastic baby food tubes we had been saving. Take a peek and see what we crafted for his classroom Halloween treats! Mighty Manatee Candy Holders.
(supplies: empty storage containers such as Pringles Chips or baby crackers, silver spray paint, grey tube socks, 1/4 yard scrap fabric, tissue or crumpled paper and goggly eyes)

Stuff the tubes with candy or toys...
Crumple up the tissue or scrap paper to stuff into the toes of each sock to make the Manatee head...
Tie fabric scraps around their necks to secure the sock and tube. We chose cow fabric as Manatees are often called 'Sea Cows'! Then glue on their goggly eyes.
