Hi, Yeah, I am a bit surprised no one has created an accessible version of Candy Land myself. It is a fairly simple game to create and play, and given how popular it is in the U.S. it seems like a logical choice for new and aspiring programmers. Perhaps I will write one in Python and stick it up on my developers site as a demonstration game. :D
