This one is for all you parents or backseat parents out there. As the poll question states, is it okay for a child under 3 to have marble sized candies? ie: Jelly Beans, Lemon Drops, Gumballs, Jawbreakers, etc.
Personally I say, hell no it is not appropriate. On a more logical level, I say, why tempt fate? Kids under 3 shouldn't have certain toys because the small parts pose a choking hazard, so why would you give them candy of about the same size and unchewableness as a damn toy?
Side note: Jelly Beans are mostly chewable unless they are stale or crappy, but are just about the right size to choke on, so they are on the list.
I ask this question because it seems nobody at our daycare seems to care. What are your thoughts?
