We love the concept and think these simple, do it yourself magnets are perfect as Halloween decoration! Supplies you will need are as follows:
- glass pebbles
- strong magnets
- old magazines
- scissors
- suitable glue
- and of course, pictures of eyes!

Cut out the picture of the eye you want to use and glue it to the back of the pebble. Jojo recommends finding a picture that is large enough to fit the entire glass pebble! After the glue is dry, stick a magnet on the back of the pebble and voila! You have instant Halloween decorations that will sure put a scare to anyone who’s reaching for the contents of the fridge in the middle of the night!

What child doesn’t love a simple yet fun game of marbles? I certainly remember playing with them myself when I was a wee tyke. So this marble run made 100% from an old cereal box from Made by Joel is a great way to provide your little ones with hours of entertainment. This a fun way to spend time with your kids as you make the toy together as a family activity, not to mention it’s environmental friendly since you’re recycling a used cereal box and creating a toy out of it! For directions on how to make one for yourself, click here.

Even though Halloween is still a few months away, it’s never too early to start prepping! This wonderful article from Reader’s Digest showcases (in their opinion) the ten best “healthy” halloween snacks and treats.
In case these snacks won’t satisfy you or your youngster’s taste buds, go for a more do-it-yourself route! Make these hand-dipped strawberries instead of using packaged store-bought candy. It can be a great kitchen activity you can do with your kids to teach them about healthy food as well as eating and cooking right.
What do you think? Will you be incorporating these in your candy bowls this year for trick-or-treaters? Or do you have other alternatives that you think are much healthier? Let us know!
