Candy Land is a children's board game produced by Hasbro in 1949. The idea for the game was developed and submitted by Eleanor Abbott. Eleanor had Polio. She developed the game for children suffering from the disease. In the game players race to the finish line to save the king. The trail is made up of six colors, and players move forward or backward according to randomly drawn cards that dictate what color to proceed to. This game is easy for younger children to play because there is no counting and little reading involved. The game teaches young children colors and how to take turns. After children learn the game they can continue to play it on their own.

The basic Candy Land board game has had minor aesthetic changes over the users to incorporate images relative to each decade. The game pieces are still quite basic and the game is still played by acting on the directions of graphic cards. The popularity of the game has withstood the test of time. Today, Hasbro offers a variation based on Dora the Explorer and another based on Winnie the Pooh. In addition there is a castle game for toddlers and an animated video The Great Lollipop Adventure.
