As Halloween vastly approaches, one question arises --
What do I give those werewolves and ghosts?
Candy comes as the most traditional answer, but is it
the right one?
Most candy that is on the market is made with chocolate,
milk, and butter. And those that are nondairy have gelatin. So what does
that leave us with? Those hard candies you find in secretary candy
bowls. Yum.
Where candy is not an option, unless you like those
little peppermint candies, we see much difficulty in what to find to
hand out at Halloween.
So, dear readers, I give to you a small list of treats
to hand out to help make this a Vegaween (geez, that was as corny as
candy corn).
-- Prizes found in cereal boxes
-- Stickers
-- Rubber balls
-- Those monster finger puppets that look like they came from B movies
-- Pencils
-- Erasers (not the boring pink ones, the ones that are shaped and
colored like
unicorns and baseballs and bats and cats
-- Temporary tattoos
-- Rings of Cracker Jack quality
-- Kazoos
-- Whistles
-- Clickers (might as well drive the parents really crazy)
-- Pencil toppers
-- Tops
-- Stencils
A lot of these can be bought in bulk at low prices in
party stores. Kids love them, and they last a lot longer than a Milky
Way.
I hope these ideas help make Halloween easier for you,
and better for the animals!
