Alternative Halloween Treats for Kids
Don't get stuck handing out just candy to trick-or-treaters. Prevent the sugar overload with these
edible and nonedible Halloween treat ideas that are healthy, but still fun for kids. You don't need
doctors to tell you that all the candy corn, chocolate, and other high-calorie goodies your kids collect
at Halloween aren't healthy -- but they're happy to remind you. "Given our nation's alarming rates of
obesity and hyperactivity, gorging on candy isn't smart and sends the wrong message," says Jessica
Grant, M.D., of West Care Pediatrics in New York City. To stop the sweets overload this Halloween,
consider handing out healthy snacks and nonedible treats like crackers, miniature
toys, and temporary tattoos -- items you might find in a typical goody bag. Even if
you risk provoking an eye-roll or two from trick-or-treaters, these
alternative Halloween treats are creative ways for kids to celebrate the
holiday without adding to the sugar rush.
Fall Book Recommendation:
The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams
This book is an easy book for the children to understand and learn. Just like
the title says.....the story is about a "Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of
Anything". The book has repetitious words in it that the children will insert
at the appropriate time. The children can't wait to join in and help tell the
story. The words are used several times throughout the book. It is really fun to watch
the children's faces as the story unfolds and in the end, it's not scary at all.......he ends up to be a
scarecrow in the little old lady's garden.
