Candyland favor boxes make great centerpiece bases. Take more of the Candyland Mylar balloons mixed with an assortment of brightly colored latex balloons coming out of the boxes are bright and fun!  You can also use the Candyland board game (in the box) as a base for your balloons. 

And, you know the cards that come with the Candyland game?  They make great confetti!  Another great idea for confetti?  Real gumdrops!  You can get them at any drug store or candy store.  Mini rainbow swirl lollipops also make great confetti on the table.  You can also get candy from a local drug store to scatter on the table.  Set a bag of cotton candy at each place...or save them for dessert and set up a big display of the fun pink bags.

We love to use candy necklaces or bracelets as napkin rings.  And, speaking of candy, serve fun fruity drinks in red plastic goblets and use candy stirrers - candy canes, candy sticks or even licorice!

For dessert, have a "candy bar". I don't mean an actual bar of chocolate, but a large table filled with bags, jars and bowls and absolute mountains of all kinds of candy. We'd recommend wrapped candy and chocolates.  (And, please be aware of any allergies before buying your candy.)  Each guest may fill a small bag full of candy from this table. Eat some candy for dessert and take the rest home for a favor.

And, how about a "Jelly Bean Bar" with different flavors of jelly beans and recipes so people can mix and match their beans for new flavors?  Have a menu of suggestions and sort the candy into different bowls.  Be sure to label what flavor of jelly bean is in each bowl.

A rainbow star piñata is always fun. Take turns swinging at several piñatas filled with candy! Divide the party into teams and have the teams compete to be the first to bust their piñata and retrieve the candy.

Another fun game is Name that Candy. For this game, give "candy clues." For example, the clue for number one could be "mean laughs." The candy that matches this clue is "Snickers." The clue for number 2 could be, "Lip smackers," and the candy that matches this could be "(Hershey) Kisses." Read them to the kids and see how they do!
