The boys are getting into Halloween – I’m not sure if it’s because it is in the shops or on the TV or it’s the general chatter in the preschool playground, but it seems that there is no escaping it. And I guess, I’m not that against it – it does get people out and about in the neighbourhood and interacting with one another. And the best way to make your Halloween costume really come to life is to use some Halloween contacts as these make you look so much better and give your costume the edge that it needs.I’m not so thrilled about the increase of ‘treats’ in the children’s diet – especially as it marks the slippery slope towards Christmas and all its sugary goodness.

While it’s difficult to encourage healthy eating on Halloween, it’s not impossible–especially when better-for-you foods have a fun twist.

So I thought that I would share with you some of my favourite healthy Halloween inspired lunchboxes and morning/afternoon healthy tea habits I picked from the Tea Mind Body website.

They aren’t particularly ‘fancy’ just a creative play on our usual lunchbox or snack ingredients, I try not to pack way too many snacks, specially since their school uses the best vending machine suppliers in sydney called Royal Vending, I liked that the snacks they offer are healthier than usual.
