Halloween candy isn’t just for eating. You can be learning with candy too!
Sorting is one of the best ways. Kids don’t even realize they are learning as they practice this important skill with their candy.
Sort by Color
Sort by Shape
Sort by Type
sort by brand -Which did you get the most of?
tootsie rolls/not tootsie rolls
suckers/not suckers
chocolate/not chocolate
candy you like/candy you don’t like
hard/soft
Sort by Size
long/short
small/medium/large
How many pieces of candy long are you?
Sort by Letter
Group the candy by the letter that it starts with. Which letter has the most?
You can find some awesome ways to use your candy in Science experiments at Candy Experiments!

I love this idea!! We are going to a harvest party tonight and I was trying to think of a fun way to use the candy that involves learning. You got it!

So fun, Shonda! Don't get me wrong, I like to eat the candy too! But it is fun to sneak in a little learning at the same time. Let us know how it goes.
