[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok but what do people do for kids that are really little? I have 2 year old twins and they got a TON of candy last night, we weren’t out for long but people were just giving out fistfuls or prompting them to take 2 or 3.  They WILL notice if it just mysteriously disappears…[/quote]

Wait what?? 2 year olds don’t remember. We hid our kids bucket after 2 days because candy tantrums were starting. He’s 2, we let him have a few pieces on Halloween and one piece the next day with lunch. He has zero impulse control and would definitely not self regulate candy, no idea when he will be old enough that we can just let him go for it, but he definitely forgot about it once it was out of sight.[/quote]

Yah, some will definitely remember even with the bucket out of sight. But I agree with the pp who makes it dissappear by the handfuls over time. [/quote]

My kids always remembered whenever they had candy or any treats or any little prizes from the dentist or whatever--they would never forget about the Halloween candy if we just got rid of it all at once! even from a very young age! haha But that said, with very young kids you can definitely do as PP suggested and just get rid of a couple handfuls of candy at a time so that it is gone faster. I wouldn't try that w/ my 7 year old though. he actually sorts and counts and keeps track of his candy ha.[/quote]
