Decorations

I really wanted my child to feel like they were part of the Candy Land game. To start, I collected large pieces of cardboard from the local stores in our community (furniture stores are the best!) I then painted each of the characters on the cardboard. I drew them freehand, but I had a handy dandy projector to use…this made it a lot easier. Next, I bought a pack of construction paper from the store and duplicated the game board right in our living room. I used tape to hold down the paper to our wood floor. Finally, I took the characters and lined them up around the room. It looked great!

Party Tableware

Since I couldn’t find any store bought Candy Land tableware and decorations, I decided to use plain colors for everything. I chose lime, yellow and hot pink. I covered my three tables with a brightly colored tablecloth. To make sure they understood this was a Candy party, I bought Jelly Belly’s, bubble gum, Dots, M&Ms and any other colorful candy I could find and spread it all over each table. The kids loved this part!!! I used bright orange cups and plates, lime colored silverware and hot pink napkins. It looked great.

Food

Drinks: I always make a great punch during the holidays and decided to recreate it for the party. It consists of sierra mist and lime sherbert. It’s great!

Cake: The cake was another difficult part, because I was going to have to create it myself. I made a large sheet cake and frosted it white. I used lifesavers to recreate the Candy Land path…just like the game board. I used our Candy Land playing pieces to make it look like a real game was taking place. For decoration I added lollipops, upside down ice cream cone and other items.

Party Favors

Making the party favor bags is my favorite part. I used white paper sacks and had the kids decorate them with candy and other little gadgets. They then put all their candy they collected during the day in it. They also took him miniature bouncy balls and big bags of M&M’s.

Games and Activities

As we played the games, I wanted to make sure they had enough candy to eat while playing. So for each space on the game board I placed a few pieces of candy they could eat while they kept playing. I also made the characters out of candy, like, for Lord Licorice I used chocolate licorice, for grandma nut I used Nutter Butter cookies in a basket, for Jolly I used Dots candy, for Queen Frosteen I used Cotton Candy and for Plumpy I used berry flavored gummy lifesavers. To make the game move along quicker, we used the real cards from the Candy Land game. Whoever made it through the game first won a large bag of candy. There is one thing I didn’t want to leave out of this party and that was CANDY!
