Trick-or-treating days are upon us! Costumes are made, or bought, and children (okay, adults too!) everywhere are excited to enjoy them. You may be trick-or-treating this weekend or, like us, next week on ‘the big day’! Our children are so excited, and we’re thrilled to be living in a place where we may actually have kids knock on the door! (We recently moved from a rural area to a suburb.)
While we enjoy much about this fun holiday, the one thing that is a bit lacking is the selection of treats to hand out (and receive). Candy is fun, and expected, but it can quickly go over-the-top. I’ve put together a few fun ideas that you can feel good about giving, kids will enjoy, and parents will be thankful for one less piece of candy to take from their little ones. No worries though, if treats are your thing, there are several snack items too!
Non Food Items
Finger Puppets
Mini Crayon Boxes
Mini Notepads
Tiny Pencils (To go with the mini notepads!)
Stickers
Card Games
Money! Place a few coins in a tiny organza bag in festive colors for fun.
Eco Dough These are a bit pricey for Halloween goodies, but if you only have a handful of kids (family maybe?) to buy for, they are fun and safe!
