Summary: Instead of handing out candy, why not consider handing out non-candy treats, which are a great option for kids with food allergies, celiac disease, and type 1 diabetes. (Of course, some candy is okay!)

I don’t deny my child with diabetes candy. All things in moderation. Let kids enjoy childhood rites of passage such as haunting the neighborhood on All Hollow’s Eve.

So for parents looking for some alternatives for class parties, to hand out to trick-or-treaters, or to swap out for some of your child’s giant stash, here are some non-candy ideas that my kids have liked:

Mini Play-doh (always a hit among the preschool set!)

Spooky tattoos

Skeleton stickers

Glow sticks

Bouncy balls shaped like eyeballs

Black, orange, and green rubber bracelets

Spider rings

Pumpkin rings

Mini pumpkins

Rubber bats

Themed pencils

Ghost pencil toppers

Spooky erasers

Monster finger puppets

Rubber skeletons

Plastic bugs

Mini notebooks

Coins
