Are you ready to
learn about some new awesome fun facts? Joey would like to tell you all about
the game called Candyland (Candy Land)!! Candyland is a board game. 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.
