We've actually had surprisingly little trouble. We do have a loose rope barrier
around the layout, and we always have a group member at the "grabbing" spots. In
fact, we usually have to invite the kids to grab candy. Some are fairly picky
about which ones they want. A lot of times the parents are with the kids, and we
ask them if its OK - gotta watch out for allergies, etc.
