Healthy Alternatives to Halloween Candy
(ARA) - When the ghosts and goblins, superheroes and villains come knocking on your
door this Halloween, do them a favor. Instead of dropping a candy bar or two into their
trick-or-treat bag, fill it up with healthy alternatives. With childhood obesity on the
rise in the United States, a bag full of candy bars -- with their empty calories -- is the
last thing the neighborhood kids need.
Nutrition and Halloween arent two words that are normally seen together,
but it is possible to promote healthy eating habits during the Halloween season,
says Lisa Katic, the nutrition advisor for the Snack Food Association. She recommends
parents make sure their kids have a nutritious meal before heading out the door to go
trick-or-treating so they wont be tempted to fill up on candy; and instead of
handing out candy bars, that you set a good example for the neighborhood by giving away
nutritious snacks.

Gourmet Sugarless Pops
Sugarfree Rainbow Pops
Among the Halloween alternatives gaining in popularity these days,
Sugarfree Jelly Belly,
Halloween 16" Punch Ball,
Sugarless Bazooka, and packets of instant
Sugar Free Candies. You really cant go wrong setting a precedent
in the neighborhood as the home that hands out the treats that are good for you,
says Katic.
Which is your favorite flavor?
Baskin and Robbins has added great taste to sugar free, low carb
sherbert
Sugar Free Candies. Packed in a quart container it can pass for
sherbert until you open it to find the outstanding strawberry, rasberry
and orange sherbert flavor candies.
Here are some other alternatives to Halloween Candy:
* Sports or trading cards. If you have a little more money in your Halloween treat
budget, you might consider buying some sports cards or another popular trading card for
children. Those with large budgets can probably afford to leave an entire pack in every
child's bag, but you could also give out individual cards.
* School supplies or stickers. Kids are always misplacing their pencils, erasers and
crayons, so these are holiday treats they will really appreciate. Stickers are also
popular among youngsters in school. They can use them to dress up their notebooks or
lockers.

Spooky Lawn Spider
Fill a large black garbage bag with raked leaves from your yard
or crumpled newspaper. Tie the top of the bag in a knot to close.
Turn the bag upside down. This is the body of the spider.
Ask your parents to take you to a hardware store to buy eight
3-foot pieces of black irrigation piping for legs. Attach the "legs"
to the bag with black electric tape. Or, instead of going to the
hardware store, you could just cut four garbage bags in half so that
you have eight halves. Fold the halves in half lengthwise and tape
the cut side together so that it looks like a tube. Stuff the "legs"
with newspaper or leaves and attach them to the "body."
Paint eyes on the bag with white paint or glue white
construction paper to the bag to use as eyes. Decorate your spider
any way you want.
Flying Bat
Blow up a black balloon, tie the end, and attach a string to the
end.
Cut wings, ears, and eyes out of construction paper and glue
them to the balloon.
Hang your bat from the ceiling.
Lollipop Ghosts
Cover a lollipop with a white piece of tissue and tie a piece of
yarn around the stick.
Draw a face on the ghost with markers.
Silly Spider Web
Put a piece of black construction paper into a cake or pie pan.
Put a little bit of white paint into the center of the paper.
Drop a marble in the paint and tilt the pan around.
The marble will roll all over the paper leaving a white "spider
web" trail behind it.
