10+ Non-Candy Halloween Treats for Kids

Sharing is caring!

Looking for non-candy Halloween treats for kids? It’s that time of year. School is in full swing, the leaves are changing, and the kids… are ready to see the dentist after gorging themselves on Halloween candy?!?

Halloween is such a fun time of year for kids. It’s supposed to be scary! But for parents of kids with food allergies or even parents who like to limit, “scary” takes on a new meaning.

Whether your kids have food allergies or just want to cut down on the candy, this list of ten+ non-candy Halloween treats is a fun way to celebrate Halloween without sending your kids into candy-comas.

10+ Non-Candy Halloween Treats for Kids

Finding unique Halloween treats for kids or even making cute goodie bags for your child’s Halloween party can be a lot of fun – if you have a lot of time.

If you’re looking to keep things simple or put together just a few goodie bags, check out this mega pack of assorted Halloween toys.

But if you want to get creative, read on for 10+ ideas to fill a Halloween goodie bag or pass out to trick-or-treaters!

Pencils and erasers

These super cute pencils and erasers are perfect for preschool and elementary-aged kids.

If you’re buying pencils for a class party, I added this 48-pack of pencils to my Subscribe & Save account to get them at a discount.

I also found this huge pack of Halloween erasers if you need a lot.

Trinkets

Halloween themed trinkets, like foam airplanes that kids can build, or these paddles are a fun alternative to candy.

Foam masks

Kids love playing dress up, even when it’s not Halloween.

These foam Halloween masks aren’t too scary for littler kids. Plus, they can decorate the foam with markers to make them scarier (or cuter). 😉

Finger toys

From miniature skateboards to puppets, finger toys can provide hours of entertainment for kids.

Depending on your kids’ ages, there are so many finger toys to choose from. My daughter especially likes these finger puppets, which are perfect (less-scary) for younger kids.

Books

It’s always fun to start reading seasonal books before the holiday to help kids prepare for (and understand) the holiday. They’re also great to teach kids about seasons and when they can expect each holiday, like Halloween in Fall, once the leaves start changing color.

Some of my kids’ favorite Halloween books are Little Blue Truck’s Halloween, Happy Halloween Little Critter, and The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat.

Craft packets

I love these “make a jack-o-lantern” sticker packs, but my kids have also tried these cute wooden packets.

Halloween activity books are also a fun alternative – perfect for a rainy day activity.

Tattoos and stickers

Kids love tattoos and stickers, even when Halloween is long past. If you have lots of trick-or-treaters, this pack of 500 stickers would be perfect!

Stamps

Especially if your kids love making art projects, these stamps are a fun way to decorate and add a Halloween flair to their artwork.

Bouncy balls

Some of the scary bouncy balls might be a little too much for littler kids, but my kids love these glow-in-the-dark eyeballs.

For younger kids, these Halloween-themed bouncy balls might be a better choice – even the spiders are smiling.

As you’re putting together your Halloween treats, don’t forget to buy goodie bags! These bags are adorable (and they come in packages of 72, so you can make them for your kids’ class parties or pass them out to all your trick-or-treaters).

These are such a good idea! I like to limit how much treats are involved so they are great alternatives! Thanks for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday
