you guys are funny. well, if i did give them healthy or international candies, even if just one child tried something new, then it would be worth it to me. |
In miniature cans? What made you think of giving that out? |
thing is, as a parent, I won't let my kid eat anything I've never seen before, which they got from a non-relative...
save the pretty novel treats for a halloween party |
If it's for adults in your classes, go with fair-trade chocolate from Global Exchange. For kids: pretzels, stickers, pencils (they get enough sugar anyways and it's nice for the allergy kids to be able to actually keep something). |
Another source for unique/imported treats is Rodman's on Wisconsin Avenue...What is generally the upper age-range for trick-or-treaters? |
every year I give the same thing, a toothbrush and toothpaste. Kids may not like it, but they need it that night more than any. |
Yes,mini cans. We found it at Costco and thought it was a good alternative to candy. |
There is a very eccentric woman on Capitol Hill who give out chicken feet. The kind of real feet that move when the tendons are pulled. She places them on a platter and lets the kids take one if they want to. And I know, not too health-wise. |
That's definitely memorable! Are the kids surprised? |
Yes, they love it!! We've done it for a few years! |
I gave out chocolate eyesballs, ears, lips and fingers last year which I picked up from Target, and i heard a kid say, "I bet they're only chocolate."
I have gotten candy from World Market before that has been really, really stale, by the way. |
I love the Playdough idea..I'm all for encouraging creativity!
For my students, my youngest is 12, oldest is in her 80s. I think maybe extra dark chocolates, I will check out World Market and see what they have. Maybe some mints too. What is up with the chicken feet though? That is a trick, not a treat I hope! |
