- Read “Julius’s Candy Corn” by Kevin Henkes … I love these simple, little books from Kevin Henkes. This one came in a set of five books that my kids absolutely love. I was thrilled that it is still available here. The set comes with:
- Julius’s Candy Corn
- Shiela Rae’s Peppermint Stick
- Owen’s Marshmallow Chick
- Wemberly’s Ice Cream Star
- Lily’s Chocolate Heart …………… love them all!
- Preschool Journal Page
- Write “candy corn”
- Draw a picture of candy corn
- Put candy corn stickers all over page.
- Candy Corn Squares … my preschoolers enjoyed making these today. I love that they were practicing so many skills … colors, cutting, and sorting!
- Draw a simple candy corn outline on black paper with a white crayon.
- Cut white, yellow, and orange paper into strips.
- Give the kids one strip of each color and show them how to snip the paper to make squares.
- Use glue sticks to glue the squares to each section.
- TIP: I just smeared glue stick all over one section at a time and they filled it with colored squares.
- I love how differently my 4 and 2-year-olds pictures came out!
- Candy Corn Counting … this has been a favorite activity since my 8-year-old was about 3-years-old. I made these with craft foam paper and they’ve survived wonderfully all these years. See how I made them here.
- Number each candy corn 1-10.
- Add that many dots to each candy corn. I like to do this so if my kids don’t recognize the number, they can count the dots to find out.
- Use real candy corn to count out each number.
- Candy Corn Roll & Remove Game
- Print this festive game board from Princess and the Tot.
- Place one candy corn in each box.
- Roll two dice.
- Add up the numbers and eat the candy corn in that number’s box!
- See how we have played this game before (plus a free any-time-of-the-year game board!) by clicking here.
- Candy Corn Trail Mix … this was out after-school snack today. Mmm.
- You can do any combination you like. We used
- Popcorn
- Cheez-It Trail Mix
- Candy corn
- Reese’s Pieces
- All of the Reese’s and candy corn were falling to the bottom, so I melted a little white candy melt, drizzled it on top and mixed it in. Worked much better.

I'm doing candy corn TOMORROW (yes, I already had that planned). I forgot about the Julius' Candy Corn book. Adding that to the plan! Thanks :)
