This week, Miss G and I have been participating in a candy play series with several other mamas and munchkins. The goal has been to experiment with candy and come up with several fun and uinique ways to creat, play, and explore with the Halloween treats that will soon be making their way into our houses. On Monday we created beautiful glossy paint using Skittles, on Tuesday we created mouldable and edible candy clay, on Wednesday we sorted, counted, and graphed SweeTARTS. and yesterday we used our goodies to make fun candy jewellery.
This is by no means an original idea… In fact, I’ve seen it around the web several times before {like here and here}. But cool? YES. Soooo cool. Like magic milk paint, I think it’s just one of those things you have to try yourself and see in person. It’s that cool. Plus, when teaching I’d always fret about the teeth of my munchkins who seemed to get multiple backs of Gobstoppers each year around Halloween. Well, this is the perfect way to enjoy them without having to worry about your little one’s teeth or sugar consumption.
