Math Activities With Candy Bones I had a request for a candy bones graph. I’d never heard of them. Where have I been? So I Googled candy bones. They are really quite popular, as there were lots of Ask.com questions of where to buy the candy and what to do with it. Many of the links were outdated and broken, so I went on my own quest. Oriental Trading has the best deal Online for “Candy Bones.” http://bit.ly/17ccoOz
The bones in their pack include: the ever-popular sweet tart skull, foot, hand, ribs and plain bones. They come in pastel colors. There are approximately 28 pieces per pack and 19 packets per unit (13 oz.) They are “fat free” and were $8, now on sale for $5.99 as of 10/7/13 I have dealt with Oriental Trading for many years and never had a problem. Their customer service is wonderful. Amazon.com also offers the same bone candies. They are sold by Zugar and fulfilled by Amazon. http://amzn.to/1gjWg4o They are $9.99 for the same quantity as Oriental Trading. Some teachers have e-mailed me that they have also found the bone candy packages at their Dollar Tree Stores. However, they were not in mine, here in Grand Rapids, MI There is also another popular bone candy called: Skulls and Bones. Unlike the above candy, these only have 2 shapes inside, but more colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, white and a blackish purple. Unlike the above pastel candies, these are brightly colored. They are offered by Candy Nation: :http://bit.ly/1fd70mo They are $3.85 a pound. O’Ryan’s Village featuring old-fashioned candy, also sells a package of Skulls and Bones for $2.29. There are 11 small packages inside. (http://bit.ly/199PwTz)
