Oh my gosh, no slime!!!!!!!! It gets in everything and everywhere and is so hard to get out.
Same with bubbles, they’re so messy. We have floorboards and everytime my kids play with them, the floor is slippery and sticky. Numerous times I’ve almost broken my ankle.
Love the stationery idea. This year I’m giving books and pop its as the kids still seem to be obsessed with them.

One year we gave the kids freshly popped pop corn and the kids loved it.

Amazing ideas, but I hope the kids liked them if anyone tried them. Id love to hear how they went down with the trick or treaters

That’s a really good idea but I doubt the kids would appreciate the lack of sugar

I always suggest non-plastic items too. SO much plastic just ends up in landfill
We hand out lollies (although there is one large plastic bag they come in which we recycle), then we also have home made biscuits (no plastic) and often my kids will make halloween bats or other creepy crawlies out of cleaned toilet paper rolls.

We don’t have any kids trick or treating. We don’t celebrate Halloween and make sure our front light is off so no-one comes in. Need to do this as our dog has a habit of jumping up on strangers. Wouldn’t want her to jump on any kids and knock them over

I love some of these ideas. A great idea for me to get rid of some stuff too. I have just always gone the sweet treat option, but love to add this into the mix.

I can see a lot of this ended up all over the neighbourhood or just in landfill, I was hoping for something I did not need to buy,

Some great ideas here. I will have some at hand. Whilst we don’t do Halloween, if any kids come trick or treeting I’m happy to give out what I have, usually chocolate of some sort, but some other treats are great. (saying that, our elf on the shelf does get into Halloween!!)
