There is a reason nearly every child owns or has at least played Candy Land at least once. Its a classic. It's easy to learn & small children can join in the fun because they don't need to know how to count or read. If they can identify colors, they can play. We had a Candy Lane game for our first grandchild. She lives 2 hours away. She enjoyed the game so much, we let her take it home. This game is going to remain at Nana's house so all of the grandchildren, as well as Nana :) can enjoy the game.
