Some churches and schools plan "harvest party" style events to keep kids safe and centrally located instead of out trick-or-treating, and tend to send home only tiny bags of candy or small games/toys at the end. If something like that is available in your area, it might be a great option - kids still get to dress up and see their friends, but without the focus on sugar-gobbling.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749612769351728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-10568656434129535632011-10-21T19:06:26.391-06:002011-10-21T19:06:26.391-06:00We just avoid the whole trick-or-treat thing altog...We just avoid the whole trick-or-treat thing altogether. What's not brought in the house doesn't have to go out again! (But with our eldest allergic to corn syrup and food coloring and also having celiac, we've never done it. Made no sense to have him receive a bunch of things we'd have to give or throw away.) Great idea on exchanging the candy for toys, though! That might have worked here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-86785853940819103422011-10-20T13:14:40.359-06:002011-10-20T13:14:40.359-06:00I go so far as to NOT even give away candy at our ...I go so far as to NOT even give away candy at our house. I have given away crayon packs, stickers, and this year it is Play-Doh. My younger kids are so excited about the Play-Doh, they are hoping that there will be some left for them!Melissa Naaskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930313817092938958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-21571512415292309972011-10-19T20:49:23.136-06:002011-10-19T20:49:23.136-06:00The are some great ideas!!

We can get away with it because they're so young, but since they are so young we don't go trick or treating for very long so they don't get too much candy. I let them choose one thing to eat that evening then save a few pieces that they can have here and there. I also try to do a lot of other fun Halloween activites so that trick or treating (and the candy) isn't the main event.Tom and Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930077783726649917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-92222956956736418892011-10-19T19:24:37.672-06:002011-10-19T19:24:37.672-06:00Alivia gets to keep some of her candy which lasts ...Alivia gets to keep some of her candy which lasts over a month since she isn't allowed to eat it every day.
