Candy Land Board Game

“Once upon a time, King Kandy, the Imperial Head Bonbon and Grand Jujube of Candy Land disappeared.” Thus begins the magical journey of Milton Bradley’s classic Candy Land board game.

Captivated by the story of a kidnapped king and eager to help find him, little ones move their gingerbread pawns along a rainbow path and through a land of candy characters, all subjects of King Kandy’s realm.

Classic Game
Every family should have this game in their cabinet if they have young children. I just wish they would make games that didn’t have so many pieces too lose!

When I was a Speech Therapist, I created cards for our therapy session and after the child responded correctly, they would pick a color card and move their piece.

Still Classic
I have fond memories of playing Candyland when I was young. Many hours with my parents and older sister, but it had been a long time since I played it.

This game was something I was anxious for my little cousin to experience since I had such fond memories of playing it as a child.

When was the last time you played this?
I have fond memories of playing this game as a child, but I don’t know why. Have you played it recently with your own kids? You are NEVER going to get to the end.

How to put SKILL in Candyland.
Each player draw a hand of three cards. Play a card out of your hand on your turn, then draw a replacement.

Christmas Facts

Christmas trees were first lighted with actual candles, which presented a fire hazard. As a result containers filled with water had to be kept near the Christmas tree.

Workers in the construction industry are responsible for the tradition of having a Christmas tree on display at Rockefeller Center in New York City. They are credited with placing an undecorated tree at the site in the early 1930s.

Since the mid-1960s, The National Christmas Tree Association has maintained a presence in the White House at Christmas by donating a Christmas tree to the First Family.

The former Woolworth department store first sold manufactured Christmas tree ornaments in 1880.

More Christmas Facts

Plastic became the primary material used to make tinsel after their use for decorative purposes was at one time prohibited because lead was used in the manufacturing process.

The idea of Christmas greeting cards started in Britain in the late 1830s when John Calcott Horsley started to produce small cards that had festive scenes and a holiday greeting written inside. Similar cards were also being made in the United States at about the same time by R.H. Pease, in Albany, New York, and Louis Prang, who was a German immigrant. The idea of sending the greeting cards during Christmas gained popularity in both countries about 10 years later when new postal delivery services started.

The shortened form Xmas for Christmas has been popular in Europe since the 1500s. It is believed to be derived from the Greek word 'Xristos' which means Christ.

According to the National Confectioners Association, for 200 years candy canes were only made in the color of white and it wasn't until in the 1950s that a machine was invented that could automate the production of candy canes.
