A Sweet Treat for Halloween Fun
As the Halloween season sweeps in, there’s one candy that takes center stage with its vibrant colors and unmistakable shape—candy corn! On October 30th, we celebrate National Candy Corn Day, a delightful occasion to indulge in this iconic sweet treat. In this blog post, we’ll take a sweet journey into the history of candy corn, share imaginative ways for kids to celebrate, and offer a “corny” note of gratitude to our cherished Happy Hive Homeschooling community.
The Sweet History of Candy Corn
Candy corn has a history as rich and vibrant as its colors. This quintessential Halloween candy was created in the late 1800s by George Renninger and produced by the Wunderlee Candy Company. Originally, candy corn was handmade using a labor-intensive process, but with the advent of modern machinery, it became more widely available.
Ways for Kids to Celebrate Candy Corn Day
- Candy Corn Art: Let kids explore their artistic side by creating candy corn-themed art. They can use colored pencils, paint, or even craft their candy corn out of paper.
- Candy Corn Science: Turn candy corn into a science experiment by dissolving it in water and observing the results. Discuss why it dissolves and what happens when it cools.
- Candy Corn Math: Use candy corn for math activities like counting, sorting, and making patterns. It’s a fun and tasty way to learn.
- Candy Corn Tasting: Host a candy corn tasting session where kids can try different flavors and brands of candy corn. They can rate their favorites and describe the taste.
- Candy Corn Storytime: Read Halloween or fall-themed books while enjoying candy corn as a special treat.
- Candy Corn Crafts: Create candy corn-themed crafts like candy corn garlands, wreaths, or even candy corn-shaped ornaments for the upcoming holiday season.
