Halloween Candy Alternatives for Trick or Treaters
Where to get non-candy handouts
Oriental Trading has a fantastic selection of non-candy ideas for trick or treaters, and the way they list their items for sale makes it easy to see how much each piece costs individually. However, you will pay shipping with Oriental Trading.

The idea of the project is to make Halloween safer and happier for all kids, including those with food allergies. People who pledge to put a teal pumpkin out or display a sign in their window are letting parents who have kids with food allergies know that they offer non-food treats for the kids, so they get to keep whatever they are given and don’t have to worry about it harming them in any way.
