Sorting candy conversation hearts is a super fun task for young children. All you need is candy hearts and a space to sort colors. I made a mat with construction paper squares to match the colors in the bag. You could use colored bowls, cups, paper, etc.
2 & 3 Year Olds:
Sort a handful of candy conversation hearts into a matching square or space color.
4 & 5 Year Olds:
Sort candy into appropriate spaces. Then, to add some math to this fun, have your children chart their findings onto a graph or tally chart. Ask questions like: Which color did you have the most of? Which color had the least? Did any piles have the same amount?
Add in some sensory learning to this by having them close their eyes and taste one at a time. Ask questions like: What flavor do you taste? What color do think you are eating right now?
See? Even candy can be educational ;)

You shouldn't drag it out until the problems start with the fact that you constantly i feel guilty, so there is a blog about why I feel guilty, and online therapy will help you, which pleases me
