The kids have been home from school for a while now—and they're starting to develop cabin fever. The article Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Activities from Little Bins for Little Hands has tons of exciting activities for kids that involve candy. From experiments with Skittles and M&M's to building gumdrop figures, these hands-on ideas will keep the kiddos entertained for hours.
Do you remember the first time you read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl? How about the movie? Brings back such great memories that I have been super excited to share with my son. We read the book together and watched both versions of the movie. Even better we have enjoyed some awesome chocolate science experiments together!
Open your own candy factory lab with easy to do candy activities that will make you feel like Willy Wonka himself. Skittles, M&M’s, Pop Rocks, Gum Drops, and Chocolate are perfect for exploring science concepts. Taste, touch, see, smell, and hear our candy activities below.
