Fall Celebrations Health and Safety Tips
Halloween and Fall Celebrations can be great fun for children and wonderful opportunities for adults to gather for relaxing social gatherings. Whether it’s trick-or-treat, truck-or-treat, a Fall Festival or Harvest celebration, they all seem to have a few things in common: fun parties and delicious treats. This year, you can take steps to help your cheerful activities stay in line with a healthy lifestyle.
Are you hosting a gathering at your home or office? Planning a booth at a community or school festival? Offer healthy snacks such as fruit and vegetables. There are a plethora of ideas on Pinterest to dress up your healthy snacks in thematic fashion. Have games that require movement and activity to burn off a few extra calories.
Are you giving out treats for trick-or-treaters? There are many options other than candy! Hand out stickers, pencils, fun erasers, craft items, notepads, balloons, stress balls, small bottles of bubbles, whistles or other novelty toys are just a few options. If you want to hand out food items, try small containers of fruit or veggies such as raisins or carrot/celery snack packs. Be creative and think outside the box and have fun!
