Sugary Record


How big is the world's largest cotton candy sculpture? 🍭

Ali Spagnola set out to break the Guinness World Record with a massive cotton candy sculpture. Kick off with an engaging starter slides (see solutions &supporting materials) to spark curiosity.

In this activity, students will estimate its size and weight, calculate how many cotton candy poofs would be needed to make up the massive bunny sculpture, figure out how long it might take to make it all, and even explore the challenges behind setting a world record!
