Label Homemade Treats for Halloween
Most parents will not allow their kids to eat homemade treats since they are not quite sure who made them. Whenever I made my own Halloween treats, I would use my name and address labels and securely stick them to the wrapped treat so the parents would know who made them.
Give Halloween Pencils Instead of Candy
For Halloween I give out Halloween pencils. You can get them at the Dollar Store, there is usually 10 in a package. They always get too much candy, and it can be used after the holiday. The kids love it, so do the parents! I have been doing this for years now.
I don't get a whole lot of kids at my house for Halloween but rest assured I am fully prepared! :) There are a few things you can do to save money on candy:
Great for kids classmates or special kids that you see on Halloween. Also great for craft shows. Great halloween party loot bag.
Halloween: Mr. Pumpkin Ate The Cake
Here's an idea that never fails to amuse the kids at Halloween: Make any kind of cake that you like. Remove a slice (eat it or hide it where the kids won't find it). Put a little plastic jack-o-lantern on top of the cake.

This simple craft takes a tootsie pop and makes it into a cute spider. It's great for a Halloween Party or to hand out to trick-or-treaters.
Halloween Tricks and Treats. Someone wrote me on another channel about using toilet paper tubes to fill with treats and give to the Tricker Treaters. These tubes were, of course, decorated in the Halloween style.
Make little ghost favors using a whole walnut for the head and a double kleenex for the "sheet" and tie thin orange and black ribbons around the neck. use a fine marker for eyes and mouth. (I made these one year for trick or treat and put coins in with the walnuts. Of course I told the parents to watch the little ones with the money.) Booooo
Take your mini phylo shells out of the freezer 15 minutes before you put pumpkin in them. Add 2/3 cup Pumpkin and 2/3 cup whipped cream together and whisk until smooth.
Pumpkin Plants for Halloween Treats
I'm giving out tiny pots of planted pumpkin seeds this Halloween. Last year, I saved the seeds from pumpkins when making jack-o-lanterns and dried them. We roasted and ate some, planted others in our vegetable garden and saved the rest. You can buy either the biodegradable planter containers or just cute little pots at the collar store, fill with earth, push in a seed, water and cover with plastic. Then you've got your unique "treat" for trick-or-treating this year. The child can transplant the seedling, and watch his or her very own pumpkin grow big and round! By Stephanie Olsen
I'm looking for healthy treats for Halloween. Because of things needing to be wrapped or tamper proof and wanting to give something nutritious, I'm at a loss what to give out. Does anyone have any good ideas? -Marianne
