A Healthy HalloweenDo you have the "Let's Eat" Cookbook for kids? If not, I would try to order it before your party to have out for everyone to look at. It is so much fun for the little ones! They have a ton of neat recipes in there. I think if you find a way to get the kids to enjoy some healthier foods, mom would be SOLD! Especially this being the all you can eat candy season!! Anything with apples. By using the APCS, I'm sure the apples would go fast! The orange idea Susan mentioned sounds great too!! Maybe a fruit tray?? They have a YUMMY fluffly Peanut Butter Dip the the "Let's Eat" cookbook I HAD to try out. It was a big hit! If you call it something spookey, you could include it in your Halloween theme along with the decorating cookies.
I think as long as the kids are having fun, mom would be happy. But I really think you should include some ways to sneak in helathy foods in their diets. My daughter is a picky eater, but with alittle creativity I am able to sneak healthier foods in her diet. If it were up to her, she would have hotdogs everyday! I totally recommend the "Let's Eat" cookbook for your show, or any show involving kids! Is there a way you can borrow it from someone if you don't have it? HTH!!!

Hi there! I have a few suggestions for fun and spooky treats that you can make with kids ages 3-5 for Halloween. One idea is to make "witch's fingers" by shaping sugar cookie dough into long, thin fingers and adding almond slices for fingernails. You can also make "eyeball" cookies by using a round cookie cutter and adding a chocolate chip in the middle for the pupil and red icing for the veins.As for formatting the show with parents, I recommend keeping it simple and interactive. Have the kids help with measuring and mixing ingredients, and let them decorate their treats with different toppings. You can also have a costume contest or Halloween-themed games for the kids to play while the treats are baking.Hope these ideas help and have a spooktacular Halloween!
