A friend of mine told me a great tip for Halloween - I know it is still early, but I wanted to pass it on. She found a way to eliminate sugar, calories and harmful food allergens from the treats she gives out at Halloween. How?
She gives out Halloween toys instead. Halloween toys are fun, useful and can cost roughly the same as sugared treats. There are even some great toys for the safety of children trick or treating - like Halloween flashlights and reflective necklaces. Since there are pedestrian accidents every year, I thought these were a great idea. There are also practical items, like pencils, notebooks and erasers for school. Kids love getting the fun and spooky items like bouncy balls shaped like eyes or spider rings. There are also craft items, stickers and bracelets.
You can throw a little candy in with the toys for party treat bags for tradition. If you are a crusader against tooth decay caused by sugar, you may consider the Halloween toothbrushes and brushing timers.
Kids love getting surprises and they love getting toys. Toys will be a more lasting reminder of the fun they had over Halloween. Another bonus - if you don't give out all the toys, you can simply store them for next year. You can't do that with candy.
