Start with an extra-large colorful lollipop and wrap it in light pink, blue, yellow, or green cellophane. Tie coordinating curling ribbons onto the stick. Place a large, white address label containing all the party information on the back of the lollipop. Add a fun Candyland sticker on the front and hand-deliver your invitations to your guests.

Lollipop, lollipop,
Sweet as can be.
come help me celebrate
A party for me.
You Won't Want To Miss A Lick!
COSTUMES
In lieu of having guests wear a costume, create candy crowns for everyone to wear. Cut gold card stock into thirds and use your child's head as a guide for creating the crown size. Glue hard candies, lollipops, gumdrops, jelly beans, etc. to the crown.
CANDYLAND PARTY THEME DECORATIONS
Use a painter's plastic drop cloth as your foundation to create a Candyland path for your guests to follow to your front door. Cover entire drop cloth with various colored squares. You can use construction paper, poster board, cardstock, or cut up various colored plastic tablecloths to make your squares. Glue squares to drop cloth and you're good to go!
If the timing is right and you can find an after Christmas sale, pick-up some candy cane yard stakes and line your walkway with them.
Make colorful signs that say, "Molasses Swamp," "Gumdrop Mountain Pass," "Lollipop Woods," and "Candy Cane Forest" and hang them on your party walls.
Paint metal buckets with various colors and weight them down with beans. Fill with brightly colored large spiral lollipops and balloons. Camouflage the beans with "puffs" of colored tissue paper.
CANDYLAND PARTY THEME FOODS
GRAMMA NUTT NUGGETS - Chicken nuggets.
MR. MINT'S MAC & CHEESE - Prepare your favorite Mac & Cheese recipe. Add red, blue, or green food coloring to create a fun color.
