Halloween means a lot of things. Fun costumes, fall festivals, lots of fun, and usually lots of CANDY! This year, if you’re looking for options that aren’t from the candy department, check out what we’ve found below! They are perfect for having a fun Halloween adventure at home this year if you’re choosing to keep your distance as well as great options for handing out if you plan to put your porch light on.
Best Non-Candy Halloween Goodies
From small little treats to slightly bigger goodies, we’ve got some great non-candy Halloween ideas to help you jump off the sugar wagon. Dentists everywhere will thank you! Plus, these goodies will have kiddos enjoying their night no matter how you choose to celebrate. Because no matter what Halloween looks like this year, it is still important to find a way to have fun!
Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty
Light up Halloween night with Crazy Aaron’s Glowing MINIs. Ectoplasm glows a speckled green, Jack O’ Lantern glows a bright orange, and Trick changes from purple to green and glows a solid green in the dark. These fun little tins offer hours of entertainment while being easy on the pocketbook. At just $2.99 each, you’ll see they are worth their weight in gold!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
Even without candy, we still wanted to include a seasonal treat and the perfect answer are the delicious cookies you’ll get from this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. From Lehi Mills, these are the best earthy, sweet, buttery pumpkin meets gooey chocolate chip cookies you’ll ever try! Skip over good and head straight to scrumptious. Every bite delivers a burst of fall flavors that tastes amazing year-round.
EXIT: The Sunken Treasure
For the bigger kids, teens, and adults, be sure to get them in on some fun with EXIT: The Game. Available from Thames & Kosmos in a variety of different themes, this is a series of party games for up to four players that offers a unique, unforgettable gaming experience. These games allow you to bring the excitement, intensity, and team spirit of an escape room to your living room. In each EXIT game, your team starts out locked in an imaginary room, or trapped somewhere. You must solve a series of riddles and puzzles in order to unlock doors and reveal new riddles. Each correct solution brings you to another riddle and eventually to freedom. Whether you’ve ever been to an in-person escape room or not, this is a great choice for an evening of fun!
Camping Adventure Set – from Magformers
Magformers are wildly popular in our home. We’ve been collecting them for over 7 years now and my kids still can’t get enough. So adding this Magformers Camping Adventure Set is sure to be a great choice whether it’s your first Magformers set or you’re building a collection. This fun set allows your little builder to immerse themselves in the excitement of a summer camping experience. Using the Magformers squares and triangles, they can build campfires and tents. Then, add Mason and Mutt to your scenes and create your own stories!
Tell me, how does your family plan to celebrate Halloween this year?
I’m a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters. I love spending time with my family, reading Karen Kingsbury novels, and catching up with friends while our kiddos have play dates. I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.
