Recently, I rounded up a few friends to try out the sweetest idea for Valentine Images. Filled with candy, this session created one of the most fun sessions to date, while challenging all of the moms to a never ending game of “what did you just put in your mouth?”. We ended the session with bellies full of candy and one of the best recipes ever an incredible portrait experience.
Ingredients:
10 + lbs of gumballs (give or take)
1 candy dispenser full of m&ms
A bag of large sweethearts
A bagful of small sweethearts.
a candy loving kid
Patience and a sense of humor about the candy consumed
First you take the gum balls and you pour them into a tub for the kids to play (Be sure to watch carefully or the babies will pop a whole gum ball into their mouth the moment they touch the candy). Add one candy dispenser full of m&ms and challenge the kids to get the m&ms out (but don’t give them any quarters). Next challenge the kids to lay on the gum balls or dig their toes into the candy and enjoy the sensory experience. Finally grab a handful of large sweethearts and toss them at your child while they giggle and protect themselves with a clear umbrella.
Finish the session off with a fun mini sweetheart toss and a couple of candies for the kids to enjoy as a reward for a job well done.
Or let us do the work and sign your child up for our upcoming Sweet As Can be Session happening January 25th.
