Candyfloss machine help

Hi, I'm hopefully having a candyfloss machine for a kids party. I have no idea how many bags of sugar I need (do you use caster sugar?) per amount of children.

Does anyone know how far a bag tends to go and any hints or tips please?

    When I had a candy floss machine after heating it up it used just over a teaspoons of granulated sugar and that produced about the same amount as is served on sticks at fairs etc.
    So one bag goes quite a long way once the machine has been on for a while!

    How many kids are going to be at the party?
