A Candy Land Party for Kids

August 26, 2015

If you’re looking for a “sweet” party idea, we’ve got you covered! My kids love playing Candy Land and we decided to take the classic board game outdoors, for a fun morning with friends. The party included bright colors, games and of course, lots of candy.

Here’s what we did: 

For Fun

We had some fun Candy Land themed activities to go  along with the characters on the game board. Then, when guests completed all of the activities and made it to the “castle” they could fill their favor box at the “Castle Candy Bar”. We had tons of fun candy as well as Candy Land stickers and bounce balls, all from Birthday Express. 

The activities leading up to the Castle Candy Bar included: 

Lollipop Toss


Gumball Guessing Game


Gumdrop Wands 


Make Your Own Chocolate: for this, I got plastic chocolate molds and colorful chocolate at a local candy shop. I melted the chocolate and let the kids fill the molds using spoons. This was a messy, but fun activity. 

To Decorate: 

Lollipop Tree Centerpiece

How To: Start with a flower pot and place something heavy inside to weigh it down. Next place a large styrofoam ball inside the pot. Then you are ready to cover the tree in lollipops by sticking the entire lollipop stick into the styrofoam until the whole styrofoam ball is covered. 

The Table

The table was set with a roll of red and white zig zag wrapping paper (instead of a table cloth). Then I used our Candy Land game board as decor on the table. We used coordinating Candy Land paper products from Birthday Express to complete the look. 

Candy Bar

We set up a candy bar that was cute for Candy Land decor and then it doubled as how the kids put together their own favors at the end. 

Our Own Candy Land Path

We used colored paper and tape to make our own Candy Land path along our fence. 

To Eat: 

Cartons of popcorn

Rainbow Pudding Jars 

Ingredients: 4 boxes Instant vanilla pudding mix, milk and food coloring. Extras: small glass jar so you can see the colors and wooden spoon

Directions: Mix the boxes of pudding mix 1 at a time according to directions. When adding in the milk, also add in a few drops of food coloring. Pour at the bottom of a clear cup of jar. Let cool for about 5 min in the refrigerator. Repeat the same step 3 more times with different colors. 

Rainbow Marshmallow Pops

Ingredients: paper straws, marshmallows, chocolate to melt, sprinkles

Directions: Stick the paper straws into the marshmallows. Melt the chocolate. Then holing the paper straw, dip the marshmallow halfway into the melted chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off and then dip into the rainbow sprinkles. 

This party was so much fun and all the kids enjoyed this sweet Candy Land adventure!
