Halloween is just around the corner, and for many children, that means lots of candy. Although we agree it's okay to indulge in some sweets for the season, we also like to promote other fun, non-sugary treats that will still make even the littlest ghost smile.
Here's our recommend list of things you can hand out to trick or treaters:
- Little jars of clay: Big box stores now sell these fun bits of fun that kids can mold long after Halloween is over.
- Stickers: You can buy these in bulk and hand 'em out by the handful.
- Patterned bandages: Stores now sell all sorts of fun bandages with colorful characters that kids love wearing.
- Temporary Tattoos: Give them some ink to show off to their folks.
- Bouncy Balls: Pretty much every kid loves to bounce these off sidewalks and see how far they will fly.
- Coins: Get rid of your loose change and give them something they can save for a rainy day.
- Glow Sticks: They can snap one of these for safety as they walk from house to house.
- Pencils: Useful for art, school, or just about any occasions, pencils are the cheap treat that keeps on giving.
Whatever you decide to give out at your door, we hope you have a safe and fun Halloween!
