‘Tis the season for that super sweet kernel of candy corn that everyone can agree reminds them of Halloween past, present, and most likely, future! Besides eating all of that candy corn that may be laying around your home this week, you can also play some fun and simple games with these bright candy kernels.

Send the kids on a Candy Corn Hunt. You can do this a couple of different ways. Create a path of Candy Corn that they must use to hunt around and cannot sway from the path. Alternatively, hide small bags of candy corn around your yard and send the kids on a traditional hunt.

Fill a large pumpkin pail with candy corn and see who guesses the number of candy corn. Whoever guesses closest, wins!  Share the Candy Corn with everyone.

Create Candy Corn Artwork with heavy card stock, candy corn, and a glue stick. This may get messy, but will be fun!

Make Candy Corn Strings, just like popcorn. Decorate the room and front doorway with the Candy Corn Strings.

Make a homemade batch of Candy Corn. A great idea for older children.

Serve Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats.

Play Candy Corn Fooz Ball. Using a large table surface, set up two kids at different ends of the table. The children throw candy corn to the other child, who must block it from going through and making a goal. The child can block it using a solid cookie cutter.  (Make sure it is one that will not scratch up your table.)

Make Candy Corn Sculptures using frosting to hold the sculpture together. Make sure to place paper down on your table to keep the mess minimal.

Finally, send them home with bags of the sweet stuff!

It may be corny, but these ideas will keep it sweet too!
