Healthy #Halloween Treat Ideas

10/8/2012

Halloween has been associated with candy for so many years, Even the traditional trick or treat might imply that the treat is food (candy), however in recent years more people had tried to stay away from candy and try to pass out non-food favors such as small child-safe toys.

The dollar stores in your area are a great place to find wonderful non sweet treats for your trick or treaters. Some examples of those items and our favorites at home are:

Bubbles

Coloring books

Stickers

Pens & Pencils

Halloween Rubber Duckies

Glow in the dark toys 

Play-Doh 

Crayons 

Stamps

Mini pumpkins

Vampire teeth



We have also received on the pass some food items that seem to be a healthier alternative to candy such as:

Popcorn

Individual packs of pretzels

Fruit snacks

The night of Halloween at home we have a tradition. We called it the Halloween fairy. She comes at night and picks ups the candy and leaves a toy instead. That way if our son did get candy, the candy is gone by next morning, and there is less temptation for everyone and my son is happy with his new toy.
