Last year for Halloween I decided to do something risky. I wanted to hand out a healthier alternative to candy... something that was more in sync with what I encourage every day to the kids and parents in my classes. First thought: carrot sticks. Second thought: my house might get toilet papered. Final decision: a big bowl full of airplanes, flying disc and toys to play with. I can't tell you how cool it was to see the kids run back to their parents jumping up and down telling them they got a plane to play with!
Oriental Trading sells a box of 72 Gliders for $12. Here's the link!
Note: These items worked well for my neighborhood because all the kids are preschool and kindergarten age. For the older ones, jump ropes, fake tattoos, punching balloons, or kazoos might work too! Now that I have a new nickname with the kids I'm going to have to try Yo-Yo's next year!
