Tip: Exchange candy w/ toys or other creative ways not to let Halloween make you forget the healthy eating habits you want your children to have

"Nutritional consultant and educator Kay Curtis is against handing out candy. Curtis opts for giving small toys such as rings, puzzles, bracelets and stamps.

“When I first started this 'no candy on Halloween' thing, my husband said our house would get egged or toilet-papered, but the kids were thrilled!” Curtis said.

Curtis shops for toys at the 99 Cent Store, Target and party stores. Party favors make great finds for trick-or-treaters, she said.
