2. Send Them Down a Tube.
Send your candy flying down a shoot from your door or yard by using PVC piping (available at Home Depot.)

3. Tie Them to a Line

4. Make a Lollipop Garden

5. Use a Grabber

7. Play a Game of Toss
Have a window that opens on the second floor? Make a game of it and toss the candy down.
