Kids absolutely love the Candy Toss! It is one of their favourites. They have lots of fun running around picking up candy and chocolates. This activity takes approximately 10 minutes.
What you need:
Bowl or Decorated Box
Candy and Chocolates (Prepackaged or put loose candy, like sour keys in little bags and tie them up)
Music (Gummy Bear Song or any fun music they love)
Empty Treat Bags
Put most of the candy and chocolates in your bowl or decorated box. Use the leftover candy to top up any treat bags, at the end of the activity, in case some kids get less candy than others. Everyone will be happy!
Candy Toss
Give each kid an empty treat bag.
Put music on.
Have the kids all in one area and throw candy towards them.
The kids pick up the candy from the ground and put it in their treat bags.
When finished, top up any bags if needed.
Dancing Candy Toss
In this version, the kids dance to the music. When the music stops, you toss the candy; and the kids pick up what they can. When the music starts again, the kids start dancing again. You would keep doing this until all the candy is gone.

Mama's Helpful Tips
Keep some candy and chocolates out of the toss. Use this candy to top up any treat bags, at the end of the activity, in case some kids get less than others.
