Who doesn’t love these adorable little yellow, orange, and white candies??

And did you know that National Candy Corn Day is October 30th?  Leave it to the Happy Home Fairy to provide you with all the fun you need to enjoy a special day of celebrating sugary goodness!

Here are some super fun ways to use candy corn…

Candy Corn Games –

  • Candy Corn Drop:  Kneel on a chair and drop candy corn into a jar.  See how many you can get in!  For older kids, try using a 2-liter bottle to make it a bit more challenging!  Hours of entertainment!
  • Candy Corn Relay Race:  Mark off a Start and Finish line with two bowls.  Fill the Start line bowl with candy corn.  Give each player a spoon.  The team that can transfer their candy corn with a spoon to the other bowl WINS!
  • Candy Corn Catch:  Tie a pumpkin treat pail around one person’s waist (preferably an adult like Dad :-)).  Have everyone toss candy corn at that player to try and see how many pieces they can get in the pail!
  • Candy Corn Hunt:  Hide 10 pieces of candy corn in the house and tell your child to find all of them!  Teaches counting while having fun!  🙂

Candy Corn Activities –

  • Candy Corn Sculptures:  Set your kids up at the table with a bowl of candy corn and a can of frosting.  Let them create Candy Corn Sculptures!  Give awards for Most Extraordinary, Tallest, Creative or Most Looks Like Dad!
  • Leave a trail of candy corn from your child’s bedroom door to the kitchen table on the morning of the 30th.  Have a plate of pancakes waiting for them that are decorated with candy corn!  Surprise!
  • Have a Candy Corn Guess with your family!  Fill up a jar and have everyone take turns guessing how many are in the jar.  Include neighbors and friends!  Or if you are Skyping with Grandma, let her in on the fun, too!  Then call the winner on the 30th!
  • Bake a candy corn treat together!  Package it up and take it to someone!  Here are links to my favorite candy corn treats…

Candy Corn Bark at The Recipe Girl!

Candy Corn Pudding Parfaits from Hershey’s!

Candy Corn Pudding Cups

Candy Corn Pizza from Cookie Madness!

So easy Candy Corn Sandwich from I-Mockery Blabber!

Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats from Baked Perfection!

And finally, here is the sweetest little printable of a Christian Candy Corn Poem you can attach to a bag of candy corn treats and give to a neighbor.  Enjoy!

Happy Candy Corn-ing! 🙂

P.S. If you have some extra candy corn and want to do something for the Happy Hubby, use the candy to spell out “I Love You” on his dresser or pillow.  Or package up some of the Candy Corn Bark from above and include a note that says, “Thanks for being my Sweetie.”

Love it!

  • I find myself spending more time looking at the world and the problems instead of looking at these 4 heroes right here. This is what needs our attention. This is where change begins. Spend time praying for them instead of scrolling vanity. Spend time memorizing God’s Truths instead of dwelling on flawed opinion. Spend time laughing and playing and breathing deep the smell of their necks. Spend time teaching and training and living in the ✨light✨. This is the future. God has great things coming.

  • Life Updates >> Ryan - This weekend I broke the garbage disposal for the 14th time in our 17 years of marriage and he has not yet given up on me and my lack of understanding of what NOT to put down there. Love always hopes! Noah - Playing on the school basketball team and totally killing it this year! I have no idea what is happening on the court most of the time, but I know enough when the ball swishes through the hoop! Jethro - Creative, funny Jethro. He loves to make people laugh. And he loves to

  • Baby Zion is now officially acting like a toddler! We have mastered the words “No” “Mine” and how to go boneless when you don’t want mom to pick you up. Gearing up for this season of parenting with some truths >> ✨It is kindness that leads us to repentance.✨ It is love that covers over a multitude of sins.✨ It’s funny how doing this the third time isn’t as angering as it was with the first 2! Either I am more tired and not caring as much OR God is helping me to share His beautiful grace more as I

  • I went to church today. It was so good and so needed. I haven’t been in weeks. It’s funny how I let myself get comfortable with that. I tell myself it’s easier to just watch church at home online. Which is not true because basically every time I do that the children start a wrestling match in the living room while I am trying to listen to the sermon. Or the baby poops during the opening song. Or someone is inevitably injured. But I tell myself how nice it was to not wake up early. How lovely to stay in

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

  • When I had covid, this precious mama of mine called me every day. She dropped groceries on our doorstep (and even decorated them with Christmas lights ). She had food delivered to our house. She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that
