What's the scoop? Just a sweets-laden toy shovel that's perfect for a kid's sandbox pals.

Materials

• Small bag of candy
• Twist tie
• Ribbon

• Toy sand shovel
• Paint pen

Instructions

1. Close a small bag of candy with a twist tie. With a ribbon, tie it to the handle of a toy sand shovel. (We found a good selection of shovels at www.iparty.com for 40 cents apiece.)

2. Use a paint pen or permanent marker to write your message at the base of the shovel, just below the candy bag.
