Candy Free Halloween Ideas

Kids are always excited to get into the spirit of Halloween: Dressing up in spooky costumes, carving pumpkins, and of course, going from one house to another for Trick or Treat.

Every Halloween, they have a chance to be their favorite super hero, characters, and even monsters. While spending the late night parading around in costumes, carrying plastic buckets and pumpkin baskets, they are excited to knock on each house to get sweets and gummy treats.

But when it comes to Halloween treats, do you always need to give candies and other sweet treats?

Believe it or not, sugar consumption among kids has led to an upswing of childhood obesity. The increase in the number of kids affected with Type 2 diabetes is starting to be a growing concern for many parents too.

Evade the guilt factor during Halloween by giving children candy-free treats instead. Kids can still enjoy the holiday without the sugary treats.

Here is a list of candy-free Halloween goodies that you can give to children. They will surely be a surprise for kids of all ages.
