Halloween treats without the tricks
Halloween is one of the holidays that kids wait all year for. It is a chance to dress up, have fun, and fill bags up with sweet treats. Sugar has become the staple for this holiday. We all know sugar is not good for our health and any amount suppresses the immune system and leads to many health concerns. Rates of childhood obesity, digestive issues, attention disorders, allergies, and autism are rapidly increasing. Halloween does not have to be about the candy though.
Kids can still have fun on Halloween by promoting healthier options and creativity.
These days parents are becoming more health conscious. Here are some trick-or-treat ideas to help keep your kids happy and healthy:
Bubbles
Stickers
Stamps
Bookmarks
Mask crafts
Crayons
Stretchy skeletons
Bouncy balls
Yo-yos
Silly straws
Whistles
Healthy treats (raisins, pumpkin seeds, granola bars, oranges)
