Planet Green has a quiz up on their website asking readers exactly how green their Halloween is. We took the test and boy were we surprised! Even though we thought we’d ace this quiz with flying colors, we still learned a thing or two.

The best part is, unlike a quiz from grade school, this quiz corrects your answers as you take the test. It also provides a detailed and thorough explanation of the correct answer if you get a question wrong.

So head on over to Planet Green, take this test for yourself and learn something new on how to create a greener and healthier Halloween for your loved ones!

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!

I recently came across a few Halloween items I thought you’d want to know about.

All are healthy and or/”green” and – unlike most off the rack costumes – will inspire creativity and endless use long past October 31st.

Organic cotton animal/bug -print tights. These adorable tights come in four themes: bumble-bee, ladybug, giraffe and zebra but best of all, they’re made of organic cotton! Up to 18 months. Found at ThreeDaisies.com

Animal tails and snouts – for simple, quick costume and months of dress up play. Why I love these even more? Their made Fair Trade (of Alpaca wool) by women in Bolivia.

Halloween costume templates from BoxWorks.biz. BoxWorks is an innovative new company inspiring kids to see more than just trash when they look at used cardboard boxes. Although more templates will be added to the site soon, for this Halloween, check out their Robot Costume ($4) (as well as the Halloween Candy Bag and Luminary – FREE when you use the code GREEN at check out).
