Everyone Will Love

Halloween doesn’t have to be all sugar to be sweet. Whether you’re hosting a class party or passing out goodies at home, these non-candy treats will bring smiles without the sugar crash... and they’re perfect for kids with food allergies or sensory sensitivities.

  • 🎃 Mini tubs of sensory dough co. fluff or slime (smells amazing, squishes even better!)
  • 🦇 Glow sticks, spider rings, or Halloween pencils
  • 🍂 Stickers (scented ones are so fun!)
  • 🕸️ My Little Town Indoor Playground gift cards — a hit for local families 
  • 👻 Temporary tattoos or small fidgets for busy hands


Little swaps like these make Halloween feel inclusive and fun for everyone... no matter what they can (or can’t) eat. Plus, it’s a great way to support local small businesses while creating memories that last longer than candy wrappers.
