Quick Trick-or-Treat Tip for Toddlers

My little one is so excited to go trick-or-treating with his big brother! I love that I'll get to get him dressed up and walk door to door while he excitedly watched his little bucket of candy fill up. This will be his 2nd Halloween and just like last year I will be doing this little candy switcheroo so that he can go out and enjoy the trick-or-treating and actually enjoy eating treats with big brother later. 

I do not give my little one candy but I want him to enjoy treats on Halloween. That's why I came up with the idea of getting tiny zip lock bags, decorating them and then filling them up with healthier alternatives to the candy he accumulates from Halloween. You can draw on them or stick little Halloween themed stickers on it for decoration. I like to make a bunch and fill each with just 3-4 pieces of either lightly sweetened cereal or those wonderful yogurt drops for the little ones. That way he gets to have just as fun as his big brother picking out little bags of "candy" to open and enjoy! 

Here's a quick example of a couple of the little bags that I decorated, sorry they aren't filled up with anything yet, my husband will be grocery shopping after work! Have a great Halloween everyone, please let me know if you try this idea or share any of your tips for taking the little ones trick-or-treating!
