What is 12 candies?

12 candies is like having a whole bag of your favorite sweets, just right for sharing or enjoying all by yourself.

Imagine you have a little bag with 12 pieces of candy in it, maybe they're gummy bears, chocolates, or even lollipops! Each one is a tiny happy treat. If you count them one by one, like counting your toes, that’s 1, 2, 3… all the way to 12.

• "12" is just a number, it's how we say "a dozen."
• A dozen is like a special group of things. You might have a dozen eggs in the fridge, or a dozen cookies on the counter.
• So when you have 12 candies, it’s like having one full group of your favorite treats, perfect for sharing with friends or saving some for later!

If you had 12 candies and gave 3 to your friend, you’d have 9 left. Just like how you count your fingers or toes, simple and fun!
