Did you know that Candyland was actually invented by a woman named Eleanor Abbott in 1948? She was in the hospital diagnosed with polio. There was a lot of very sick children in there with polio too. So, Eleanor Abbott who was a retired school teacher decided to make a game for all the children to play. The Candyland (Candy Land) game kept the children busy and gave them something fun to do for hours. Sometime in 1949 Eleanor Abbott sold the game to Milton Bradley. Candyland was one of the first board games that I learned to play as a child. My siblings and I loved playing this game. It entertained us for hours! It makes a great game for families to play together.
