She is very generous and brings the candy to the hospital to lift the spirits of those who are ill or visiting... We started when my youngest was 5 and the middle one was 7. I let them pick a dozen or so pieces of candy to keep and then the rest is out to the porch... Our “halloween fairy” is the tooth fairy’s sister.
