11 {Non-Candy} Halloween Treats for Kids

Halloween is coming! I don’t know about you but my typical course of action is to find a great deal on Halloween candy, buy it, eat it myself, then have to replace it. It’s a vicious yet tasty and calorie-laden cycle. Seriously. Peanut Butter Cups don’t stand a chance in my house.

Last year I bought candy AND these finger flashlights and the lights were gone before the candy. The kids LOVED them! A heads up that you shouldn’t be surprised if not every single one turns on. I think we had maybe 5-7 duds in our batch. This is still cheaper than candy and really, really fun! My kids still have a couple that they play with (a light to read by after lights out, of course!).

In the last couple of years you may have heard about the Teal Pumpkin Project, too. Homes that are passing out something other than candy, things that are safe for children with food allergies, can identify their home with a teal pumpkin out front. I saw a couple of friends say that they bought one at CVS. I don’t see a pumpkin you can buy on Amazon, but grab a real pumpkin and paint it teal and that might be even easier!

Amazon has a great list of non-candy Halloween items in support of the Teal Pumpkin Project, (this mix right here is pretty awesome!) and I’ve got a list of some of my favorites below.
