Instructions:

1.) Cut out the smiley's from the side of the milk jug.

2.) Cut a circle out of cardstock slightly larger than the smiley.

3.) Use a black sharpie to color in the smiley's eyes and smile.

4.) Sprinkle 'nerds' candy inside plastic smiley.

Note from Sherri: Where I live we don't have milk jugs with Smiley's on them but you can still do this craft with a milk jug that has a round indent on the side. You can always draw your own smile face or even decorate it with other items!
