This blog is here to inspire you to make crafts for your own parties. I also have a few posts that fall under the STEAM category. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Many people want to focus on these areas of education in schools. I&#8217;ve got some fun activities to help kids understand important concepts in science and math. When possible, I&#8217;ve tried to incorporate art into them. I think that helps kids reinforce concepts and hopefully makes science more accessible for kids that prefer art over science.<\/p>\n<p>I grew up on a farm in America and I have also lived in a big city in Australia. I chose the name of this blog, Lollies or Candy, because Aussies use the word lolly and in America its candy. In my blog posts I will try to list if\/where items are available in Australia and America and discuss different traditions in both countries. Some articles contain affiliate links. When you purchase something after following these links I get a commission for the sale. All of the companies that I link to for products are companies that I have purchased items from before becoming an affiliate for them. I&#8217;ve purchased all of the materials I use on this site unless otherwise stated in the article. Happy crafting!<\/p>\n<p>Ta\/Thanks for Reading!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1233 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lolliesorcandy.comwp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/180-1-290x300.jpg\" alt=\"180 (1)\" width=\"290\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lolliesorcandy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/180-1-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/lolliesorcandy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/180-1-768x793.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lolliesorcandy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/180-1.jpg 941w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 180px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 270px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 270px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G&#8217;day Mates\/Hi Everyone, I love making food and decorations for parties and for gifts!
