Wikki Stix Trick or Treat Packs
Beth Wood said: Give out a fun Halloween craft! My kids love playing with these packs of colorful, non-toxic wax and yarn sticks. You can twist, bend, mold and stick them together with just a fingertip of pressure to create 3-d shapes and images. These sticks are reusable. The trick or treat packs come with halloween designed themed cards that encourage shape building such as cats, ghosts, and pumpkins.
Vampire Teeth

Boo Buddies Giant Eraser Pencils
Beth Wood said: These assorted Halloween themed pencils with giant erasers are great non candy Halloween treats!
Mini Halloween Magic Springs
Jennie Utsinger said: Magic springs are always the first toy my kids reach for in toy baskets at fairs or doctor's offices. They can't get enough of these little slinky-like toys. They often twist them into oblivion fairly quickly, so would be thrilled to find a new one while trick-or-treating!
Glow in the Dark Slime
Alex F said: Slime is an all-ages favorite, and you can usually find small containers to buy in bulk. Glow-in-the-dark slime is especially fun as a non food Halloween treat.
Utz Halloween Pretzels
Katie G. said: Believe it or not, not all kids like candy. These Halloween pretzels are always a hit with my kids for when they need a change of pace from the sweet treats.
Vampire Lip Whistles
Beth Wood said: This is my kid's favorite find this year! These vampire lip whistles are lots of fun for a wide range of ages. They love the built-in siren whistle that is easy to blow.
Halloween Bubbles
Kelly R. said: You can never have too many bubbles, and these mini ones are great for younger kids so you don't have to worry too much about spilling.
Crayons
Kelly R. said: What kid doesn't love fresh crayons? These little Crayola packs are perfect for restaurant games, killing time in the car, etc.
Sugar Skull Laptop Stickers
Kelly R. said: My kids enjoy collecting fun stickers to display on their laptops, and these sugar skulls look cool all year round. They are cheap enough that you can hand them out to the kids who take candy, too!
Mini Pop-it Keychains
Lisa R said: We purchased these in bulk for my daughter to hand out at school and they were a big hit! My daughter has one on her backpack and plays with it all the time, so I'm hoping the other kids in her class will get some mileage out of theirs too.
Halloween Stackable Push Pencil
Alex F said: Though I am not a fan of pencils as treats generally (we get way too many!), my kids get so excited about mechanical and push pencils that they have become the exception to the rule. These Halloween-themed pencils are fun, or you can go with an orange/black/green color scheme, too.
Brain Shaped Erasers
Kelly R. said: I love that these brain erasers fit right in at Halloween, but won't become obsolete when the calendar hits November. A subtle reminder to use your noodle!
