‘Clean for Candy’ Printable
Looking for the perfect way to limit your kids Halloween Candy and get your House Clean at the same time?!?! We call it the ‘Clean for Candy’ system at our house! The kids each have a small amount of Halloween Candy leftover from the holiday weekend and since I don’t want a bunch of sick kid,s I ration the candy out throughout the week. Each day they can choose a few chores to do and earn a piece of candy for doing that chore (we also have the option of getting a dime/quarter instead if they don’t want to eat candy, but lets be honest they always go for the candy!!)

However, she doesn’t have quite the amount of Legos as her brother so I decided to make something a little more simple for her Legos… this recycled Lego Storage Container. It’s made from an old cheese ball container! Recycling at its finest! It turned out so cute, and she loves it. And if you’re sick of…
