Daycare is having a Halloween party on Friday and are asking if parents can bring in treats.
I'm having a hard time coming up with something healthy I could bring. The only thing is it has to be nut free.
Any ideas please.
-
Hummus and orange Terra chips! They are no-salt added and really good. Or make your own sweet potato fries. Or pumpkin oat cookies. Or zucchini brownies.
If you want a sweet, but still healthy treat, try any of these recipes http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/

@ALV91711: can it be homemade or store bought only?
-
I saw some cute pretzel and string cheese "brooms" that you could assemble!
-
What about some pumpkin muffins? I'm making these for LO today.
-
@Anagram: Bookmarked that page. Thanks
@Bao: Either one. I was thinking of making something.
@lawbee11: Those sound good.
@blackbird: That is a cute idea.
Thanks ladies!
-
Clementine jack o lanterns?
-
Raisins?
-
Happy healthy mamas pumpkin dip with fruit
-
There are individual Halloween pretZel packets I saw at Costco. Also, string cheese?
-
I made these for the daycare Halloween party last year. Pineapple on the bottom, then mandarin oranges, then apples on top.
-
@MrsKMM: Was going to suggest them! You can also have them peeled with a small piece of celery or something else green for a stem.
-
I'm using Halloween cut outs on cheese slices!
I also assembled a take home treat bag with stickers, Annie fruit snacks, and a small box of crayons.Lots of other ideas from my thread last year!

@kiddosc: that's super cute! Like candy corn! Did daycare have an issue with the skewers? Also did you put lemon juice on the apples to prevent from browning?
-
I've seen people cut cute shapes into babybel cheese. Or you can use halloween cookie cutters and cut shapes into fruit, veggies or pita and serve with dip.
-
You could also bring those little single serve fruit cups with Mandarin oranges in them and draw a face on the clear lid. I saw this on Pinterest.
-
@Mrs. D: I saw this too and am doing it for our Halloween party! Also applesauce pouches...the go go squeeze ones have a top that looks like a stem so I am going to wrap them with orange paper and turn them into pumpkins.
-
Packages of peaches or mandarin oranges in water and make a jackolantern face on top
-
@regberadaisy: I used lemon juice on the apples and sucker sticks instead of skewers with a pointy end. Daycare didn't say anything about it being a problem.
-
@Mrs. Lion: great minds think alike!
-
@winniebee: where do you find these in water?? The best i can find are the dole ones in 100% juice (as opposed to syrup).
-
@Mrs. Lion: it might be in 100% fruit juice - I don't look that closely! But I get some at whole foods. I know they at least aren't in syrup.
-
@Mrs. Lion: Target has them in water

On my School Treats Pinterest Board I've pinned a ton of these ideas and more: http://www.pinterest.com/trottd/food-school-treats-lunches-and-parties/
I like the Ninja Turtle apples, Cat in the Hat (Or Dora Map) Cheese strings, Chickie Fruit cups (maybe save for Easter), and Pirate Bananas. You'll also find a link to the orange cups myself and Mrs. Lion mentioned.Let us know what you choose!
-
@Mrs. Lion: @lawbee11: just watch for added sweeteners in the ones packed in water. Most in our area say no sugar added, but add aspartame or sucralose instead!
-
I have these pinned to my Pinterest board - never attempted though! The bananas might turn brown, depending how long they were sitting out...
-
So many good ideas! Tomorrow at drop off I'm going to find out how many of something to bring and then that will help determine exactly what I choose.
@Mrs. D: @Mrs. Lion: I really like the fruit cup idea.
-
@ALV91711: i buy the dole fruit juice ones at sams club if that helps
much cheaper that way if you need a bunch!
-
@tinyperson: yeah, the target ones packed in water are artificially sweetened. But there are the mew ones sweetened with monk fruit....whatever that is.
-
@kiddosc: OMG this is so cute!
-
@Anagram: interesting...
