Storytime at Kayson’s Candy Company October 16, 2023

Posted by kimr on

Today we had a Storytime at Kayson’s Candy Company . Mrs. Kim read about the thousands of taste buds that we have to taste yummy things. The kids learned that chicks prefer worms over candy because they don’t have taste buds to taste sweet things.

Be sure to check out the new candy store on the block to feed your sweet taste buds.
