Party with Newly Designed Candy Land The World of Sweets Game and Giveaway {CLOSED}

Pin It
Candy Land has been around for as long as I can remember. I recall playing it as a little girl myself and my kids have had a couple Candy Land games. It was definitely a favorite when they were younger, but believe it or not they still enjoy playing it!

Candy Land has recently been redesigned with fun new lands to explore and I was chosen to be a lucky hostess of our very own "Candy Land Party". Hasbro and My Blog Spark sent a whole pack full of games, a Flip camera and a gift card to buy fun treats and decorations for our party.

I spent the whole morning before the party baking lots of cupcakes so that the kids could decorate and eat them. I set up cute little glass dishes full of all sorts of different candy to go with the whole "Candy Land" theme.


Once all the kids arrived, we set off on a magical adventure and had Candy Land competitions where the kid that won got a Candy Land prize of their own to take home and play with. Please take a moment to watch the video and see how much fun all of the kids had.









Going into this, I really didn't think anything of having a ton of candy and the kids loading up their cupcakes full of goodies. Let me tell you, an hour through the party, the other mom who helped me and I were exhausted! These kids were so hyper! It was totally worth it though because they all had an absolute blast!

Every kid at the party was able to go home with a Candy Land game of their own plus a couple of other prizes I threw in there for them along with candy and cupcakes for their whole family to enjoy!

Playing with my great grandmother who did not speak a lot of English, when we landed on a color we had to repeat the color in Italian and she would say it in English.

I enjoyed playing Candy Land as a child because of all the pictures of the candy- it made me want to live there. And I always liked to get a card with a candy on it so I could go to that spot on the board. As an adult, I enjoyed playing Candy Land with my daughters when they were younger. (And I still like to get the candy cards!)
