When I first saw the giant bag of Candy Corn Harvest Mix sorting the bag and making patterns are actually the first things that came to my mind. So I gave Emily three empty apple sauce cups and had her sort the candy corn. Then we had fun working on creating all different patterns with our candy corn.
We worked on ABA and ABBA patterns this time. After I made a few Emily decided that she would make some for me to try. It was fun taking turns and trying out different patterns with our candy corn. Of course we had fun eating a few pieces once we were all finished too :0)

I love that you saw the bag of candy and automatically thought of creating a pattern activity :)
