Creative alternatives to traditional Halloween candy to Trick Or Treat Night

When our daughter was small, we tried to work creatively with the items that we would hand out every Halloween to Trick or treater's who stopped at our house.

Over the years I have learned a great variety of goods on hand for that special night. I like to give the necessary information for their age, so I make 3 baskets full of goodies for the objects of a particular age. cheap wicker baskets that can be purchased at your local dollar store are great for planning your Halloweengoodies. When the child comes to my door, I can choose the right basket and let the child pick something out of it.

Children get candy very much for this time of year, so if you are looking for some fun alternatives to distribute candy this year, I think that some creative and inexpensive ideas to be found from the following list.

Tip # 1: During the year, when we eat infast-food restaurants, we order meals for children ourselves. We take all these 'kids meal' toys and put them in a large wicker basket. When Trick or Treat night rolls around, you get the basket, and distribute these toys to the children that our house on Halloween night to visit.

Tip # 2: Every year we receive a number of children with their siblings and parents at our front door. I want several jars of baby food or children teething biscuits on hand for those who keep our house a visit. Indeed, acandy bar would be inappropriate to give a child that small.

When it comes to Halloween, the most important part is to have fun and stay safe. I think it's important for a variety of age appropriate items on hand to give out to trick or treater's come to your door.
