“Trick or treat” is what every kid is dying to say during the Halloween season. Back in the day — meaning, two years ago, pre-pandemic — the worry was only about having allergy-free candies and ordering the right costume in time.

How to have a safe Halloween but still have fun
Healthy toddler snacks: What can my little one eat during Halloween?
Toddlers are at that stage where you don’t want them to eat too many sweets, but then you don’t want them to miss out on the fun of Halloween. Check out how these recipes spookify your everyday go-to healthy snacks.
Banana Ghosts
Bananas are always a great healthy snack for our walking babies, and let’s face it, there are always bananas to be eaten before they get too ripe. Place these banana ghosts on a plate, and you will surely see this snack disappear.
Energy Bite Spiders
These little cute and creepy spiders will be just the thing to serve for a snack. Gently surprise your toddler with one of these energy bites, and you two just might giggle yourselves to a nap.
Ghost Toast
Yikes! Try out this spooky toast idea and have your toddler enjoy a warm piece of toast with a spooky egg white ghost inside. Swap out the spicy sriracha eyes that the recipe asks for with ketchup and have a ghoulish time.
Apple Mummy
Who knew apples could get mummified? Check out how those apples sitting on your countertop can become cute little mummies for your toddler who needs her healthy snack on the go.
Have a little fun on the 31st. Put on a costume and either stay indoors or explore your neighborhood with your kids. No matter what, keep your mask and hand sanitizer handy so that you and your family’s health is always protected.
