BLOCKS/LEGO CHALLENGE #2

Create a Candy Factory

 

 

So for this doable you might want to start with watching a couple of these videos (an adult may need to read some captions):

There seem to be some processing components in common – a place to store and then mix the ingredients, heating them, and then molding and cooling them.  Some of the candies need coating as well.  And then there is packaging.

 

But you can invent any process – and candy –  you want!

 

Note: If it is suitable for your child’s age, you could watch the movie “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory” (1971, with songs, starring Gene Wilder)
