alternatives

tired of getting and giving tons of candy for trick or treating??? {me either, actually, but i need some alternatives so i can handle the temptation}

honestly, no kid wants to go trick or treating and get apples, so how about some decent alternatives that make the kids happy, keep the dentist at bay and help keep the kiddos a little healthier in the long run?

food options:

pretzels

microwave popcorn

fruit leathers {not fruit snacks}

cereal bars

individual bags of nuts

fun, non-food options:

bubbles

vampire teeth

playdough

temporary tattoos

bouncy balls

rubber bracelets

slime

so take time to think it through...and you'll still get lots of fun candy, but maybe a little bit of fun, healthy snackage is good too!!!
