For this activity, we sorted jolly rancher candies by color, then each child chose a color to unwrap and smash with a hammer or mallet. Then we put the smashed pieces into cookie cutters that were on a piece of parchment paper on cookie sheets. We popped them into the oven for 5 minutes and they melted!
 |
| We put them in plastic bags so the pieces wouldn't fly all over. |
 |
| First we used rubber mallets... |
 |
| Then we tried smashing with mini hammers. |

| I may have left them in the oven a little too long...oops! The children absolutely loved smashing the candy and seeing what it looked like after melting it. |
