Candy Fun, Candy Puzzle and Candy Shot Game!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far! Life's been sweet since Bites N Delights, fulfilling a baking passion deep inside! I had so much fun baking these Halloween treats last weekend, 

Halloween cookies by Bites N Delights!

and if your kids still have lots of candies from their trick-or-treating, the following candy-themed activities may be just for you! Free printable can be found at the end of this post! :)


Candy Fun!


Print out the candies and cut them out. Roll the dice and place the correct number
of candies in the candy jar!

This is a simple activity that just requires the print out and a roll of the dice. You can even use real candies if you'd like. The idea is for our kids to recognize the number of dots on the dice and place the correct number of candies into the candy jar! A fun way to reinforce counting! To make it more challenging, you can use two dice, and have your child add the dots on both of them! :) 




Candy Puzzle


For this candy puzzle, we jumble up the nine candy squares and ask our child to place them on the 3 x 3 grid such that when we add the number of candies in each row and column, they all add up to the same number! In this puzzle, they should all add up to 6.




Success! C is thrilled! Haha.


Candy Shot!


This fun game uses a balloon stretched over a paper roll to shoot candy targets to get points! Introduced C to numbers in a series of 10s (10, 20, 30, and 40, adding up to 100 points).

You need: Scissors, Balloon and Paper Roll.

Print out the candy targets and position them. Use the balloon
roll and shoot them down!


Take a look at the little video of C playing Candy Shot! :)

Here's wishing everyone a lovely week ahead! :)
