Your kids have loads of leftover Halloween candy, and we know you don’t want to send your little ones on a sugar binge, so what’s a parent to do? Parenting.com to the rescue – they’ve compiled a fantastic list of 25 things to do to with all that Halloween candy.

You can read the entire list here, but we’ve pulled some of our favorites below:

  • Donate it. Bring to nursing homes, doctor’s offices, and women shelters.
  • Use it as a learning tool. Let kids practice counting or do their math homework with little Reeses Cups or Hershey Kisses.
  • Turn it into a science experiment. Kimberly Crandell, who has three kids and an aeronautical engineering degree, came up with 10 ways to turn leftover candy into a learning experience. scientificblogging.com)
  • Send it overseas. Operationshoebox.com will gladly take donations.
  • Make an advent calendar. Put candy in Dixie cups and cover with tissue. On the tissue, write numbers 1-30, and place the cups sideways on a large poster board to form a calendar. Let kids punch through the tissue to get their treat each day. (alphamom.com)
