What to do with : Extra Halloween Candy

Great Information for : Your Halloween Season
Secondly, you may want to convince your children that as a family you may want to take the extra candy to a homeless shelter. There may be many kids there that never get candy and would consider this a real treat.
Third, you and your kids may choose to send excess candy abroad to our men and women in the military. They would love to receive packages from at home. If this is what you choose to do make sure you send candy that will not melt. While you are making these packages to send abroad you may want want your kids to create cards for those serving our country. They will really love receiving them. It will also teach your kids a little about giving back.
Fourth, there is always the option of keeping the candy and teaching your kids how to ration something out. They can have a couple of pieces a day till the candy is gone. Learning portion control is a very important thing for kids to learn. Eating candy is not necessarily a bad thing but eating too much is.
