30 Non-Candy Halloween Treat Ideas for Kids

Halloween. Just mentioning the word and two things come to mind.

Costumes & Candy.

Unfortunately, my daughter has a peanut allergy, which makes our trick-or-treat season a tricky one. Peanuts is either in a lot of candies or the candy itself is manufactured in a peanut/nut facility, making it hard for my daughters to enjoy Halloween. I know that my girls love candy, but they also love non-candy treats.

I recently discovered The Teal Pumpkin Project, which is a way to encourage people to offer nonfood treats like stickers, glow sticks, and Halloween rings and stamps. Displaying a teal pumpkin on your front porch lets parents and kids know you’ve got allergy-free treats for them.

Here are some of our favorites non-candy treats, that won’t break the bank! A lot of these items can be found at the Dollar Store, Dollar section at Target, Oriental Trading, or my favorite, Amazon!
