Thank you to Moose Toys for providing complimentary product samples as non-candy treats for my children's classroom Halloween celebrations. All opinions expressed are my own.
For the past two years, non-candy treats have been part of my children's Halloween fun. In 2011, we had Trash Pack toys for trick-or-treaters who were 5 years and older. In 2012, we sent in Trash Pack toys for classroom celebrations. They were such a huge hit that we are thrilled to be able to do the same thing this year, except this year we will also be sending in the new Glitzi Globes as well.
In our school, there is a strict no-sweets policy for any type of celebration. That means no candy on Halloween and no cupcakes on birthdays. That coupled with all the various food allergies in each classroom, I find it much easier to send in non-food treats for all celebrations. The Trash Pack were a huge hit last year, so I am happy to be able to be able to send them in again along with another fun new toy.
Glitzi Globes are a fun new toy that are geared towards girls and also appeal to the collector. They are little kits that come with everything you need to make a glitter globe. All you need to do is add water!
Now the single pack samples I received to distribute are not available in-stores, but you can easily purchase multi-packs of The Trash Pack or Glitzi Globe toys and split them up to put in your treat bags or to just wrap each in cellophane and ribbon to hand out by itself. I found 5-packs of the Series 4 Trash Pack here for just $4.79 each. That's less than $1 per favor! I have used these for non-candy treats in goody bags, in Easter baskets, for stocking stuffers, and to hand out on Halloween to trick-or-treaters and the reaction of the children have never disappointed me.
What other ideas do you have for non-candy treats?
