15 Non-Food Treats To Try This Halloween
With Halloween right around the corner, it's again time to bring out the tricks and treats. But what can you do as an adult to keep allergy kids safe?
One sure-shot way to ensure your treats are safe is to totally skip food-based items and instead offer trick-or-treaters a non-food but fun and spooky surprise. Also, non-food treats are better for kids. With non-food treats, you can avoid too much sugar, artificial dyes, trips to the dentist, and figuring out what to do with ALL that candy.
Below, we’ve listed treats for you to consider this Halloween and help keep food allergy children safe:
▪️ Coloring books
▪️ Key chains
▪️ Stickers
▪️ Glow bracelets
▪️ Finger puppets
▪️ Spider rings
▪️ Mini notepads
▪️ Glow-in-the-dark bouncing balls
▪️ Light-up necklaces
▪️ Halloween window clingers
▪️ Halloween erasers or pencil toppers
▪️ Playing cards
▪️ Bookmarks
▪️ Stencils
▪️ Halloween monster pencils
These are just a few ideas but the possibilities are endless. Heard about the Teal Pumpkin Project? The purpose of the project is to offer non-food treats during Halloween and make trick-or-treating safer and more inclusive for the one in 13 children living with food allergies. By placing a teal pumpkin on your doorstep, you let kids know that your house is food allergy-friendly.
