Reminder: Halloween Can Be A Time for Healthy “Treats”; The Holiday Is NOT “Must-Give-Out Candy Day!”

Just a quick reminder that tonight you do not have to give out candy to make kids happy this Halloween.

Rather, as I cheerfully pointed out on WTNH-TV in New Haven, Connecticut this past Sunday morning, you can give all kinds of really fun "treats" that don’t trick these poor kids into SUGAR SHOCK!

You can give party favors galore that will bring a smile or even a giggle to children’s faces — things like festive glow-in-the-dark fingers, little frisbees adorned with smiley faces or lip-shaped kazoos.

Check out the glee I took with the lip-shaped kazoo by seeing video for the TV segment for which I was interviewed.

Hey, if I, as an adult, am having a blast with the toys, just think of the kick kids will get if you pass out these fun objects! Besides, these gizmos and doodads are easy to find — just visit 99 cents or $1 stores, as well as party stores..

I invite you to join the fun!  See the video here for my WTNH-TV interview in which I suggested that you "Don’t Spook Kids By Giving Nutrient-Lacking Candy This Halloween."

You also can read my article here on the WTNH-TV website, in which I offer a list if all kinds of fun, healthy things you can give out for Halloween.
