Thursday Thirteen - Thirteen Halloween Treats That Aren't Candy!

I'm not anti-candy for children, it's just that

1. it's not good for their teeth (or their tummies)
2. they will already be getting too much candy at their other Trick or Treat visits
3. it's not a very imaginative treat.

Here's my Thursday Thirteen for this week -

Thirteen Alternatives To Halloween Candy Treats

1. shiny, new pennies - three for good luck.
You can go to the bank and ask them for two or three rolls of new pennies.

Visit your local dollar store for a bonanza of inexpensive treats -

2. temporary tattoos
3. stickers
4. glow sticks
5. pencils, pencil toppers
6. party favors of all kinds
7. sidewalk chalk
8. snack crackers
9. juice boxes
10. toy insects - spiders, flies, snakes
(yes, I know snakes are not insects. Technically, neither are spiders. Don't email me.)
11. whistles
12. microwave popcorn
13. a new toothbrush
