10 Halloween Non-Candy Treats for Kids (and Adults!) Will Enjoy

While the cherished tradition of going door-to-door and amassing a treasure trove of delectable chocolates and candies is undeniably a highly anticipated aspect of Halloween, it can pose challenges for individuals with dietary restrictions, allergies, or those seeking to limit their sugar intake. This October 31st, why not mix things up in the treat bowl by adding some non-candy alternatives that are just as festive?

Here are 10 Halloween non-candy treats that both kids and adults will appreciate:

#1) Glow-in-the-Dark Toys

Light up the night with glow-in-the-dark toys like bracelets, necklaces, or mini figurines. These items not only provide entertainment but also make it easier for passing motorists to see trick-or-treaters on sidewalks and roadways, keeping little ghouls and goblins safe while out and about collecting their treasures.

#2) Stickers and Temporary Tattoos

Kids love decorating their belongings, so why not give them spooky-themed stickers or temporary tattoos? They can use these to personalize their notebooks, water bottles, or even their costumes. Our local Dollar Tree and Dollarama both have some excellent options!

3) Mini Puzzle Games

Small puzzle games or brain teasers can be a fantastic Halloween treat. These items engage the mind and provide hours of entertainment.

4) Bouncy Balls

Bouncy balls come in a variety of colours and designs, making them a fun and interactive non-candy option. Kids can enjoy bouncing them around, and they’re also great for stress relief.

5) Halloween-Themed Stationery

Consider handing out Halloween-themed pencils, erasers, or notepads. These items can be used at school or for creative Halloween-themed drawings and notes.

6) Books or Mini Comics

Encourage reading by giving out mini-Halloween-themed books or comics suitable for different age groups. It’s a great way to promote literacy while embracing the festive spirit. Explore the selection of Halloween classics available at Black Bond Books in Valley Fair Mall.

7) Craft Kits

Craft kits that allow kids to create spooky decorations or masks are both entertaining and educational. They can enjoy crafting during Halloween or save it for a rainy day.

8) Finger Puppets

Finger puppets featuring Halloween characters like ghosts, witches, and vampires are sure to delight young children. These toys can also inspire imaginative play.

9) Mini Flashlights

Safety is paramount on Halloween night, and mini flashlights can be a practical and fun treat. Kids can use them to light their way while trick-or-treating, helping increase visibility for passing motorists.

10) Bath & Body Products
