Halloween is an opportunity to be really creative.
Halloween is just around the corner, and every year our children are overloaded with sweets and chocolates that are very bad for their teeth as well as their general health.
We have put together some food swap idea’s to help avoid all the sugar filled nasties, without loosing all the fun!
Many of our idea’s we have found online, in particular on Pinterest.
Websites like these constantly have new ideas.
Tip: When the ‘Trick—or Treat’ sweet fest can’t be avoided or monitored, Ensure that your Child spends a little bit longer brushing their teeth before bed time!
Silly Apple Bites
Use Slices of Green Apples & Strawberries to create the face and tongue of these crazy fruity monsters!
To help with the ‘sticking’ part, use any healthy nut butter or alternative.
Sunflower seeds, Dried Fruit or anything similar you may have in your cupboards make excellent teeth.

Grapefruit Jack-O-Lanterns
Use a Grapefruit skin (Or a large Orange) to carve out a pumpkin face, and fill it with a lovely chopped fruit salad.
Cheesy Witches Brooms
For the broom stick, use a bread stick or pretzel stick.
For the brush, use cheese (or alternative) and slice to create the bristles. To attach, use a fresh chive, or a little piece of cucumber skin.
Halloween Cookie Cutters
We are huge fans of cookie cutters! They are such a great way to make fruit and vegetables appeal to our children and encourage them to try new things.
Halloween themed cookie cutters are very easily available online, and are also very cheap.
They great to use on fruit and veg such as melon, carrots, cucumber (the possibilities are endless!) –A very quick and easy way to add a theme to your snack time.
