On a recent trip to Target, I discovered The Switch Witch — A toy and book set designed for kids who can't participate in eating all of the Halloween candy they collect while trick-or-treating. The concept is this: A great story about how The Switch Witch needs candy to be able to fly her broom, and so on Halloween night, kids leave out their candy for her, and she replaces the candy with a toy.
I absolutely love this concept for kids who have bad allergies and can't participate in Halloween. I myself was not a diagnosed Celiac when I was a kid, but I can't imagine the frustration parents must feel knowing their kids can't trick-or-treat and eat their candy like other kids can.
The beauty of this story is that because it is not part of traditional Halloween lore, families can spin the story into whatever your family needs are. It works for parents who are concerned about their kids diet or weight, or who just don't want a lot of sugar around the house. Whatever you use The Switch Witch for, it is a brilliant way to make sure a child still gets to participate in Halloween fun.
You can buy The Switch Witch here through Target.
Now, even better is that The Switch Witch and Target have teamed up to offer two $500 Target gift cards. Entering is easy: Purchase your Switch Witch from Target and take some photos of The Switch Witch in her new home. Next, submit your photos to The Switch Witch Facebook page. You can submit as many photos as you like. The two photos with the most votes, will each receive a $500 Target gift card.
Enjoy your new favorite Halloween tradition!
