Keep the Fun in Halloween - Toss the Empty Calories

While walking down the aisles of the local warehouse club, I noticed a variety of non-food items that would be great to pass out to our local "Trick-or-Treaters" on Halloween. We are all more conscious of the empty calories in candy. As a former school teacher, I know too well how hyperactive school children are for several days after Halloween.

How about starting a new tradition -- treats that are fun, interesting and unusual? Here are some suggestions; undoubtedly you will find more.

small cans of play-doh                  wax fangs                               stickers

wax lips                                      party whistles                           party favors

eyeball gum balls                          tiny plastic spiders                    fancy rings

colorful pencils                            small stencils                           silly cardboard glasses

hackey sacks                             glow bracelets                          punch balls

tiny pinball games                       mini yo-yo's                              small card game decks

bouncing balls                            hand stamps                             inspirational rubber bracelets

flying disc's                                 tiny bubble bottles                     colorful plastic drinking straws

funny ears                                  kazoos                                      paddle balls

Kids get so much candy -- that unusual items, such as the ones listed above -- will be appreciated by parents and children!
