<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhen I was a kid, I loved wax lips and fangs even when they\nweren\u2019t part of my costume. I also had fun with clicking metal frogs. My kids\nloved scaring me with plastic spiders and snakes. With more toy varieties\navailable than ever, it\u2019s easy to expand on a theme of disguises or themed toys.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are ten items to explore:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One. <\/strong>Themed Rubber <\/a>Duckies<\/a>. Choose monster duck shapes or ducks dressed in costumes – witches, skeletons, ghosts and more. They\u2019re fun in the bathtub and they don\u2019t hurt when toddlers throw them at each other after eating lots of sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Two.<\/strong> Mustaches<\/a>. My family wears these off and on all year long. We wear them to parties for no reason at all. We dress up like pirates and sing pirate songs. The kids love them \u2013 even the girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Specific shapes and sizes are available individually. There are also variety packs with various a va. Some come in bright colors, others are simply brown, black, and gray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Three.<\/strong> Slime<\/a>. Tiny cans of slime seem like the remnants of ghosts. And kids love icky feeling messy things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Four.<\/strong> Capes<\/a>. Children can become vampires or superheroes by donning a simple cape. Red, blue, and black capes with a Velcro closure are available for less than $1 each. They can be worn as is or decorated as a fun activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Five.<\/strong> Balls. Superballs, bouncing pumpkins, or eyeball balls are all available and fun. I still love super balls. The higher the bounce, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Six.<\/strong> Halloween Crayons<\/a> and\/or Coloring Books. I realize at this point I\u2019m mostly making a list of toys I like. I\u2019m even a sucker for the crayons and placemats they give kids in restaurants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven.<\/strong> Temporary Tattoos<\/a>. My grandkids love temporary tattoos. Choose an assortment with bats, skeletons, jack-o-lanterns, and candy corn or opt for Paw Patrol, PJ Masks, or Frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eight<\/strong>. Bubbles. Every toddler I know has learned to ask to blow bubbles by saying bub or bubbles as soon as their vocabulary grows beyond four or five words. One of my grandchildren says and signs it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are hundreds of delivery containers for bubbles. Some\nhave holiday themes. Others do not. Choose the size and variety that best suits\nyour trick or treat needs from any discount, big box, grocery, or online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
