It’s true, Halloween candy remains the most popular choice for kids hands down. However, there are plenty of parents (like myself) who prefer for their children to get a variety of fun alternatives on October 31st. With the rise of allergies and food sensitives it is important to take into consideration the children who cannot consume candy and chocolates alone as a treat come Halloween night. Aside from the allergens, there is also the over consumption of chocolate and candy that parents indulge in too – I see you late at night scoping those bags!! To take some of the pounds off of my thighs and keep my kids from a sugar rush that will last until next year, I have compiled a list of alternatives to keep your littles happy and you healthy!
Here are some ideas to consider this season:
- Glow Sticks
- Keychains
- Whistles
- Yo-Yo’s
- Finger Puppets
- Hand Warmers
- Coupons
- Pencils
- Erasers
- Squishies
- Bouncy Balls
- Stickers
- Puzzels
- Slime
- Playdough
- Notepads
- Crayons
- Bubbles
