Thomas & Friends Candy Trains Are Fun to Make With Kids!

Candy trains are so fun to make during the holidays! These ones are extra special because they look just like Thomas and Friends! This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Fisher-Price.

You can’t help but associate trains with the holiday season! Beautiful trains that circle around the Christmas tree, holiday movies like “The Polar Express”, train craft kits, and candy trains.

Candy trains have been a tradition in our family for years. I remember receiving one as a child and thinking it was the BEST gift ever. I also remember making them in elementary school! They are so easy to make and very fun to eat.

I couldn’t wait to start making them with my own children when they hit the preschool years. This year we added a fun twist to ours; a Thomas twist!

Ruby is our resident Thomas fan. Our other kids liked Thomas when they were younger, but have since moved on although none of them were as into it as Ruby.

This tutu wearing, ballet dancing, Thomas playing gal loves playing with her trains.

It was super easy to adjust our holiday candy trains to incorporate Thomas & Friends this year. I’ll show you how!
