Trick or Treat – Watch Your Sweets! Healthy Smiles for Kids | @PretendCity @HealthySmilesOC

A Guest Post from Liz Bear, CEO of Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County:

Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County is now working with Pretend City And Combined Are Sharing Insights into How Parents Can Help Minimize Tooth Decay in Children While Still Indulging in Halloween Treats

October is here and Halloween is steadily creeping up on the calendars. And what better way to kick-off the Halloween countdown than to start practicing a new customary Halloween chant, “Trick or treat? Watch your sweets!” This fun holiday introduces children to tradition, costumes, candy and not surprisingly, cavities. Although the experience of trick-or-treating is not worth skipping out on during a growing child’s life, parents need to be aware that the treats children receive can become a dental nightmare after Halloween’s passing.

Toddler School Project: Painted Rice Pumpkin

This week my daughter brought home a homework project from her preschool class. The teachers would like us to create a beautiful pumpkin using items around the house. Being the crafty girl that I am, I just dove right in.

We decided that this “Family” craft was going to be a Painted Rice Pumpkin.

Celebrate October at Pretend City | @pretendcity

On Thursday, September 19th, we celebrated national “Talk Like a Pirate Day with a pirate party where we danced like pirates, stomped our boots in a pirate parade, listened to pirate-themed stories and practiced gross motor skills by walking the plank. Pretend City is all about having fun in an interactive learning environment.

It’s now October and bugs have invaded Irvine! Bright and busy bugs have filled Pretend City Children’s Museum and have made their creepy, crawly way over to the museum’s craggy cave, grassy meadow and frightful farm shed.
