Kids and Halloween get along famously, but unfortunately, not every child can fully partake in the tasty tradition.
According to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), one in every 13 children under the age of 18 in America is affected by food allergies.
Last year, FARE started what is called the Teal Pumpkin Project to help these children. Participants of the project display a teal-painted pumpkin on their front porch that informs trick-or-treaters they can get non-food items or allergy-safe treats at that home.
It may be challenging to come up with an All Hallows Eve prize as convenient as a bag of Snickers, but the following list can bring enlightenment to those who want to give out non-food items while also not being the dentist who hands out toothpaste.
Kazoos: Not only are you instilling confidence in a child that he is a talented musician, you are giving him a treat that will last longer than a fun-sized Kit-Kat.
Sticky Hands: These trinkets are both entertaining and fitting for the spirit of Halloween. Plus, they arent nearly as messy as Silly Putty.
Paratroopers: These little guys, who did a great job in Toy Story, may make for some good old-fashioned fun for this generation of trick-or-treaters.
Spider rings: Its the one time of year its acceptable to sport a plastic arachnid on your finger, so why not?
Bouncy balls: Bouncy balls are not to be confused with jaw-breakers but will hopefully at least last as long.
Disguise glasses: Not only will you likely be the hit of Halloween by giving out this classic prize, you have provided a costume for next year.
Stickers: It seems theres a never-ending variety of this sticky prize, and no doubt theres some great Halloween-themed stickers.
Glow sticks: Glow-in-the-dark anything could make it onto this list, but glow sticks provide a fashionable piece of jewelry and a way parents can identify their costumed child on a dark Halloween night.
