Keeping kids safe this season is every parent's concern. Worry over tainted candy is a qoute that reoccurs every Halloween not to mention all the extra sugar. Here are some great alternatives to give out this Halloween that keep the parent's mind at ease and the trick-or-treaters safe.
Pencils or Erasers
Angel Halloween
Believe it or not, a friend of mine (who used to be a grade school teacher) decided to offer either treats or Halloween themed pencils one year to her trick-or-treaters. Guess which was the winner? Pencils!
The kids were so surprised with these Halloween unusual treats. The parents were equally pleased and appreciative of such a unique idea for Halloween treats.
This same idea can be done with erasers. Buy some in neat shapes, hot colors and the like and you have another safe alternative to original Halloween treats. Just be sure to select ones that cannot be mistaken for candy and don't hand them out to very small children.
Temporary Tattoos or Stickers
Children love cute puny Halloween tattoos and stickers. They are ready in ten-packs for about .50 per pack. Just cut off the packs and hand them individually or in pairs. puny may girls like princesses, witches, butterflies, angels or lady bugs. The boys may like monsters, superheroes, pirates, or possibly favorite cartoon characters.
This unique Halloween treats idea is a hit with both the kids and the parents!
Game Tokens
This idea is for the older trick-or-treaters who like to play games using tokens. If it is affordable, stop by a favorite kids conference place that features games played using tokens. purchase some to hand out to your trick-or-treaters as Halloween treats (just one or two at a time is plenty).
These Halloween treats not only are a salutary alternative but keep the kids busy for awhile. A sure winner with their parents!
Party Favors
Halloween party favors can be purchased by the bag and are a great alternative to candy. Things like plastic spiders, bats, ghosts and glow sticks can be used. Hunt for bargains whenever you go shopping. Even grocery market may have some great choices. Halloween treats can come in all shapes and sizes so always be on the look out for good deals.
Clearance Sales
Oftentimes I run across real bargains for Halloween treat ideas at store clearance sales. Look for things like small plastic toys sold by the bag, costume jewelry, puny sunglasses, crayons and even story or coloring books. I've seen them all priced way below retail and they make great Halloween treats that both parents and kids will like.
Of course the age of your trick-or-treaters is a factor in what is approved for their Halloween treats. It is best to have a collection of items ready to adapt all the dissimilar ages of your visitors. Also, avoid any items that appear to be candy or something else edible as you don't want to originate a choking hazard, especially in smaller children.
Use your imagination this year as you look for unique Halloween treats. There are so many possibilities!
Depending on your budget and how many Halloween trick-or-treaters you expect, there are many alternatives to handing out candy. These unique ideas for Halloween treats are both safer and healthier for all the "terrors" arrival to your door this Halloween.
You'll be giving their parents piece of mind and the kids will be thrilled with such unique "treats". These ideas are sure to be a hit all around!
