Traditionally, people hand out candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. But what if you want to give something other than candy this year? After all, candy isn’t the healthiest treat, and lots of it ends up going to waste. Here are a few fun ideas you may want to try.

Toys and activities

You may want to dole out little toys and activities instead of candy. These items are sure to please even the pickiest trick-or-treaters:

• Stickers
• Temporary tattoos
• Bouncy balls
• Play-Doh
• Glow sticks
• Playing cards
• Bubbles
• Silly string
• Crayons
• Puzzles
• Sidewalk chalk
• Pencils and erasers

Alternative treats

There are a number of non-candy treats you can hand out for Halloween. Here are a few suggestions:

• Raisins or other dried fruits
• Mini water bottles or juice boxes
• Granola bars
• Fortune cookies
• Pretzels

Remember to stay safe this Halloween. Avoid handing out items that could be hazardous, and make sure to only choose treats that come in sealed wrappers and packages.
