An increase in time on digital devices has many children not playing as much as yesteryear, so the Smart Planet Gummy Candy Maker is designed to help get them using their hands. Satisfying parents in several ways, the candy machine encourages kids to create their own candy flavors, manufacture them by hand and have mind-stimulating fun the whole time.
Although the Smart Planet Gummy Candy Maker might seem like a great way to encourage kids to increase their sugar intake, it can also be augmented to be healthier. Alternative sweeteners and natural coloring can be used in place of sugar and artificial colors to create treats that aren't as bad for their stomachs and teeth. Best of all, the candy machine helps save money spent at the convenience store.
