Our Candy Land social was such a fun time! We traveled through peppermint forest through gum drop passage to hopfully pass lord licorice and get to Gramma Nutts house for a quick stop! Then off we went through Lollipop woods, Snow Flake Lake, and Molasses Swamp to King Kandy at the Candy Castle!
Did you know Candy Land was invented in 1948 by Eleanor Abbott, a school teacher who was home recovering from polio, to entertain children in the hosipital. However, the game now has many different varieties of characters and even the game board!
I want to thank the Freeport Public Library - Freeport, IL for your generosity and kindness for letting us use these wonderfully crafted props! They brought the whole event to life! π¬
