Five Halloween Trick or Treat Alternatives

There are a multitude of sugary, high calorie, and high in fat candies that are given out every halloween, instead try giving something different or healthier this year.

As an alternative to candy, try dropping a two ounce tub of playdough in your ghosts' bag, they will be sure to have hours of fun with it! These little bundles of joy can be attaned at your local Dollar General store, a pack of twelve tubs for $2.00.

Another variation to sweets is a small coloring or activity book and crayon set.They are usually sold as a party favor and are relatively cheap, a pack of five are sold for $1.00 at Dollar General. You could also try looking at party supply stores, or your local Walmart.

For healthier snacks to give out to your ghouls, try 100 calorie packs, individually wrapped twizzlers or pretzel rods. All of which can be bought in bulk for relatively cheap. Try looking at your local Walmart or Costco.

All of these and more are great ideas to help keep our community's children healthier and happier during this year's celebration of Halloween!
