Trick or Train: Halloween Fun That Will Make Candy Healthy

Make Halloween even more fun (and healthy) with a little post trick-or-treating exercise.

If Halloween has to be all about candy, why not use candy to inspire a little bit of healthy fun! Break out the trick-or-treating bags and get ready to move.

 

You’ll Need

  • Halloween candy
  • Lots of energy!

Instructions

Once you get home from trick-or-treating and before the kids dig into their bags, have them write a list of the kinds of candy they think they got like “Reese’s” and “Kit Kats.” Next to each type of candy, have kids write down an exercise such as “jumping jacks” or “push-ups.” Here is a sample list to use or inspire your own:
  • Reese’s – Jumping Jacks
  • Kit Kats – Push-ups
  • Skittles – Frog Squats
  • Snickers - Lunges
  • M&Ms – Toe Touches
  • Pretzels – High Knees
  • Jolly Ranchers – Squat Jumps
  • Lollipop – Sit-ups
After making a list, have kids take turns picking candy pieces from their bags. Each time they take out a piece, check the exercise listed for that candy and have them complete 1 rep. Then have them place that piece of candy on the side for now. Have them choose 10 pieces and do 1 rep for each before they begin snacking on their treats!

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
