Obviously nobody wants to be that house to hand out toothbrushes but kids will love these non-candy Halloween treats. Bubbles, Lego, glow sticks, games, playdough, slime, vampire teeth, finger puppet rings, bugs, spider soap, funny pencils, beads and strings – what’s there not to like?

I love this list of gifts! I dread the loads of lollies that come into the house every Halloween - there's just too much of them! So I definitely welcome non-candy Halloween treats like these. Thanks for sharing at Toddler Fun Friday.
