If 2020 is anything, it's not predictable. If you are going to trick or treat or offer goodies at your door for little trick or treaters CDC is discouraging door do door or large parties to celebrate Halloween. Some families are planning small parties with their Cohorts, Pods or close friends. If you are considering any of these or welcoming trick or treaters. Halloween is one of those holidays where your kids can get so much candy it's over flowing out of their bags. This year in particular I'm try to find alternatives to the candy treats with non-candy treat options. I even have some great non-candy treats to trade my kids for the bulk of their candy.
Here are over 100 ideas for those looking for alternatives. These can be used if you have many kids, few kids or even just one or two special kids. I know some families use some of these for Trunk or Treats too!
