Do you have mixed feelings about Halloween?
I sure do! I know my kids have always enjoyed dressing up and going from home to home with their friends to get "the free stuff". But I would prefer for them not to have all that candy. Especially this year as my daughter is now wearing braces. There are so many sweets that are just plain 'ole not good for kids with braces. Braces or no braces, candy can make our kids hyper; which their teachers at school would not want to be dealing with, and our dentists don't like Halloween due to the sugar deposits that are left on our children's teeth.
Is there any solution to the Halloween treats??
Sure, there are plenty of solutions in terms of what we pass out at the door, but in this blog I would like to make a suggestion with what comes in the door when your children arrive back home.
I recently ran across an article on a very unique solution--it is a similar concept to the tooth fairy.
The Green Pumpkin comes on Halloween night and exchanges children's candy for books or other special objects. The Green Pumpkin has been known to take the candy and give it to children in hospitals as a little pick-me-up, or to troops oversees. The Green Pumpkin is good at finding places for the candy to go!
One other suggestion is to keep Halloween in your own home. Make your pad the party place to be! Kids come dressed up and ready for games, healthy treats, and loads of fun!
I see these options as WIN-WINS!
Now whose scared??
