Happy Halloween – Disney D-Lightful Challenge Week 8

November 1, 2011 by Janice

Halloween is officially over, but if your house is anything like mine, you’ve got buckets full of candy left from the holiday.

Jackson, Olivia and I adore Halloween, and I admit that we love candy as much as the next family. But buckets of candy? My teeth are starting to ache just thinking of all that we collected!

After the trick-or-treating bounty each year, I try to set limits, including letting the kids chose a handful of their favorite treats. Everything else goes into a pot that is controlled by Mom. Otherwise, I think I’d have two over-indulging kids.

We all know kids and sweets go hand-in-hand during Halloween. How do you help little ghosts and goblins find a treat balance during this scary season?

Once again, this week’s Disney D-Lightful Challenge is right on target. Learn the tricks to a happy, festive Halloween when you tackle this week’s video challenge and then check out these great Halloween treats from Disney:

  • Fan Stamp’s Instant Press-On Face Paint

These Disney Princess- and Disney·Pixar Cars-themed face paints allow you to create fun and unique designs perfect for any Halloween occasion. The face paint decals are easy to apply and easy to remove, making them a treat for kids and parents alike.

  • Frankford’s Halloween Candy Mix

A little candy is always a sweet thing. Who doesn’t love candy featuring favorite Disney characters?

  • I3 Flix’s Mater Teeth

For a quick costume change, bite down on these Disney·Pixar Cars Mater Teeth. Featuring a fruit-flavored lollipop, the Mater Teeth are bound to create a laugh just like fans’ favorite tow truck.

  • Brother-All-Natural Freeze Dried Fruit Crisps

These crispy 100% fruit snacks are available in an array of flavors, offering a great fruit alternative to sugary Halloween treats. And the Disney-themed packaging will bring a smile to small and big alike!

  • Kellogg’s Fruit Snacks

Fruit snacks, a longtime favorite of kids, meet up with Phineas & Ferb to bring a fun and tasty treat that comes in all shapes and flavors.

  • Utz Pretzels

These delicious pretzel snacks bring their favorite Disney·Pixar Cars characters to your kids’ plate. These snacks will be a hit in the lunchroom that everyone will be trading for.

Enter to win!

We’re giving away a prize pack from Disney featuring all of the products listed above. To enter, simply leave your best post-Halloween survival tip.

This giveaway will end on November 15, 2011 at midnight ET and a winner will be chosen at random and announced on Sunday in the weekly Around The Blogosphere. Please see our site’s terms and conditions for more information.

 

Please note that we are compensated Disney Brand Ambassadors, but as I said, our love of Disney and all of our opinions are completely our own!

    Enjoy a few pieces of candy, then place each child’s candy in a big ziploc with their name on it, stash away some where safe to enjoy little by little. 🙂 creedamy [at] yahoo[dot] com

    keep the candy out of site. Let them eat a piece every now and then, just brush their teeth!

    I let my daughter have a piece at lunch or dinner every day for a few days. She should get to enjoy it. We then go through it a week out and toss a lot that we know we won’t eat.

    Only allow them up to 2 pieces the night of Halloween, after that sort through the candy and pull out un-needed items 🙂

    After Halloween, we let our son have one piece of candy for a week. After that, he usually forgets all about it and mu hubby ends up taking it to work with him.

    My kids don’t really go that many places trick or treating so I don’t really have a problem with too much candy but I just have them brush their teeth more so none gets stuck in the teeth.

    Trade the candy for pocket money – that way they can spend it on a movie or something not-food related!

    I only let my daughter get one or 2 pieces a day. The novelty wears off after the first day or two. I also start taking the candy to school to giveaway to students. LOL Gets it out of the house.

    Clean up the Halloween stuff before 11.5 (just because it sounds good), use a candy jar for the halloween candy – let the kids keep what they want, and then donate the rest to a shelter of some kind.

    Thanks for the chance!!

    I know it ‘s sneaky but I give a huge bag to their teacher. Teachers are always in need of prizes & i know it really helps them out…besides, we dont need all that candy 🙂

    Let your child know ahead of time what the plan is for the evening so they aren’t surprised when you say it’s time to go home.

    My post halloween survival tip is something I saw on Ellen. Take all the candy and put them in tiny bags for each day, so you don’t overdue it.

    As a child, my mom would always pick through the candy bag to get what she wants, then she would keep the bag or put it in our “treat drawer” that we were allowed to pick 2 treats out of after dinner. Thanks!

    Allowing only 1-2 pieces of candy a day, that way they will look forward to it and appreciate it!

    lots of tooth brushing! We ration treats over as long as possible! and we try not to give out anything we wouldn’t enjoy the left overs.

    Have a glass of water after eating candy to wash away the sugar and neutralize the acid. Thanks.

    I let the kids pick one thing from their bag the first night – anything they want as a special treat – but after that, we sort through it, take out what we don’t want them to have, narrow down the pickins’ and then save the rest for special treats when they have a good day or eat a good meal.

    This is so great! My son actually does not like candy, so we drop it off at a local dentist who ships it off to the Troops!

    I take candy from their bags as they trick or treat so they do not realize how much they have! (I don’t think that this strategy is going to work much longer as now they are 4 and 5!
