- Scissors
- Tape
How to Do the Quest
- 1
Choose an imaginary candy flavor and a friendly mascot before drawing anything.
- 2
Sketch a front panel with a name, two colors, and one clear picture.
- 3
Add a back panel with a silly ingredient list and one short origin story.
- 4
Wrap the paper around an empty cardboard tube or folded scrap to see how the panels read.
- 5
Display every design and vote for the clearest, funniest, and most surprising package.
Quest Challenge
Can someone understand the flavor and mascot from across the room?
Pro Tip
Limit the front panel to one big name and one image; that makes a handmade wrapper easier to read.
Safety First
Use child-safe scissors, supervise younger children, and avoid wrapping designs around food that someone may mistake for an unopened product.
