Parenting Pointers: Non-Candy Halloween Treats

Do your kids come home with more candy than you know what to do with? If you have someone at home passing out candy, consider changing the trend by handing out non-candy treats. If they're fun enough, kids won't whine and complain when they get toys instead of candy. One really fun option is Wikki Stix. If you don't know what they are, they're bendable yarn coated with wax that stick slightly together (but don't leave residue). They're fun, inexpensive, and promote creativity. If you go that route, you can get a free Halloween Fun Kit if you buy a Trick or Treat Pak before October 21st. You can also consider giving away fancy pencils or erasers, shaped band bracelets, or any other party-favor-type toy!
