>An eco-friendly blog I read, Green Earth Journey, has recently posted about a really cool Giveaway just in time for Halloween!
It is a book by Charity A. O’Neill-O’Kane called “The Switch Witch“. The book will help you & your family create a new healthier alternative to Halloween. I haven’t read it myself yet but plan on getting a copy for the Kiddo. He loves reading & this will help with all the Halloween candy left overs!
The Switch Witch is friends with a little boy who loves to go Trick-or-Treating. When she sees how all the candy he eats makes him sick, affecting his tummy & teeth in a bad way, she comes up with a plan. The Switch Witch tells the little boy to pick his favorite 3 pieces of candy & then to leave the rest next to his jack-o-lantern when he goes to bed. After the little boy falls asleep, the Switch Witch takes the remaining candy & leaves a new book in its place. When the boy wakes up, he is so excited about the book the Switch Witch left, he forgets about the candy.
Kiddo already gets books in his Easter basket instead of candy so this hopefully will be an easy switch for us. Kiddo is good about not eating alot of candy all at once but he would candy every day if we let him. I plan on getting a copy of this book before Halloween so we can read it & talk about it before implimenting the concept.
