Alternatives: Attach your invite to a large colorful lollipop or a small bag of candy and hand-deliver.

CANDYLAND PARTY THEME DECORATIONS

This is the perfect party for going all out with lots of fun colors and making the Candyland game board come alive. Here’s some ideas to help you turn your party area into the land of candy:

For an extra-special pathway, cut a wavy path out of large cardboard boxes, e.g., a refrigerator box and create your Candyland path by gluing various colored felt squares or foam squares to the cardboard.

Line your walkway with extra-large lollipops. These may be created with hot glue or by stapling two paper plates facing one another, spray paint the plates, cover with coordinating colored cellophane tied off with curling ribbons, and attach to yard stakes.

To start the Rainbow Trail, create a rainbow arch using balloons. If you have a wood arch available, all you have to do is attach the colorful balloons in a rainbow pattern to the arch. If you don’t have an arch, then you can create one using PVC pipe for the sides and an aluminum rod for the curved portion at the top. Attach the rods together using duct tape or electrical tape.

You can make the Gingerbread Tree out of cardboard or plywood. Attach gingerbread men and plums to your tree. You can make and decorate the gingerbread men, wrap them in clear cellophane before attaching to your tree, and then hand them out as a party favor when the party is over. You can attach small dark purple balloons to the tree to serve as the plums.

Create a life-size Candyland board game by painting your squares onto the largest painter’s tarp that you can find. Use an actual Candyland game board as your guide. The kids will serve as the Candyland pieces. Use the Candyland game cards to guide how the kids move on the board.

Make gingerbread houses to serve as table centerpieces.

To create Peppermint Stick Forrest, make extra-large candy canes out of cardboard. Spray paint them white and paint on red stripes. Use lots of red and white twisted streamers, curling ribbons, and balloons for this area.

Cut sandwiches into gingerbread men and rainbow shapes using cookie cutters.
