Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Paperback)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was such a huge part of my childhood. I read the book over and over many times, and also looked forward with great anticipation the whole year to when the movie would be on TV. The book was not only incredibly entertaining and engaging, but it also taught valuable lessons in terms of children’s behavior, and I pondered on the character’s examples time and time again. My kids and I had fun making our own version of the lickable wallpaper from the book. One of my favorite snacks as a kid was graham crackers spread with vanilla frosting, so I thought that by adding some colorful fruit shaped Runts candies, it could evoke that delicious wallpaper from the classic book. Although Mr. Wonka did run a chocolate factory, I loved all of his imaginative candy creations!
