Love this idea. I agree, could also be great for other holidays like Easter and Christmas. I found them at my Hobby Lobby only they were round and not square. I am going to fill them up for my children. Thank you for the great idea!

Alternate suggestion!
by: Melissa Bove

If you can't find the tubes anywhere, you can also use pre-filled tubes. M&M's for example come in some tubes that you can remove the paper on the outside of the tube and then decorate as you wish. They can also be purchased online at www.PapertreyInk.com

Thank you for all your sweet comments and interest! :)

Thank you for the M&M's idea and for the link to that online store. They have the square tubes in stock! Yay! I'm so happy! I just ordered a few of them so I can make these for my grandchildren. Thank you so much for the great idea! I love these.
