Obviously, candy for babies is a no go. In fact, it’s even recommended by the American Association of Pediatrics to avoid sugar and sweeteners until age 2. This can make finding appropriate Halloween treats for babies and young toddlers difficult.

However, with some out of the box thinking you can certainly have some age-appropriate treats (food and not) ready for your smallest trick or treaters. Here are some of my favorite Halloween treats for babies.

How to Handle Halloween and Candy with Toddlers (and Babies)

Non Food Halloween Treats for Babies

First up is the inedible/nonfood treats for babies. Honestly, babies don’t know what Halloween is about, so giving them a fun (but not necessarily food) treat is perfect. Here are a few alternative treat ideas that may work well for you to pass out to babies this Halloween.

1. Halloween Rubber Ducks

A package of these Halloween rubber duckies would be perfect to have on hand to pass out to babies and toddlers in the neighborhood.

Or you could try this pack of 100 Assorted Rubber Ducks if you need more and a better value. Although they are not all distinctively Halloween they would make a fun treat and are appropriate even for babies!

2. Play Dough Halloween Treat Bag for Toddlers

I love this playdough treat bag idea which would work for toddlers who need candy-free or allergy-friendly Halloween treats. It’s adorable and you could make your own playdough like One Krieger Chick did or you could buy playdough to put in the bags. This would be a perfect Halloween treat for toddlers in a daycare or preschool.

3. Mini Containers of Play-Dough

Speaking of play dough, if you like this idea but don’t have time to make the treat bags, simply buy a large pack of mini play-dough to pass out to the littles in your neighborhood.

4. Bubbles

Buy either a pack of regular bubbles like this 12 pack or you could get fun bubble wands to pass out in your neighborhood. While smaller babies can’t necessarily blow bubbles themselves they still love to watch them!

5. Finger Puppets

These adorable finger puppets are another great Halloween gift to have on hand, not only for your young baby and toddler trick or treaters but also for older kids who may have various food allergies!

6.

Wrist Rattles & Foot Finders

These are fun and inexpensive Halloween gifts for babies! Babies enjoy finding their feet and shaking their hands for the rattle.

7. Wooden Animal Teethers

These adorable wooden teethers are a non-toxic Halloween treat for any baby in your neighborhood, daycare, or family.

8. Stickers

There’s no doubt that littles love stickers. Either buy these fun make a face sticker packs to pass out or a simple variety pack of sticker packets that you could also purchase inexpensively at the Dollar Tree.

Healthy Halloween Treats for Babies

Ok, here are some fun edible halloween treats you could have on hand for babies and toddlers!

1. GoGo Squeeze Unsweetened Applesauce Pouches

Make sure you buy unsweetened for babies and littles, but applesauce, fruit, and veggie pouches can be an easy trick or treat idea for any neighborhood babies. They are convenient for parents to take on the go and fun for young toddlers as well.

2. Happy Baby Organic Yogis and Happy Baby Organic Creamies

This is a fun and special snack food for babies and toddlers. The organic yogis are made with yogurt while the Creamies feature coconut milk. I waited until my son was around 12 months to give him anything like this and made it a once in a while food, but they are marketed to crawling babies. He received a similar treat from grandparent’s last Halloween and was in love!

3. Fruit

Just some basic fruit can be a great Halloween treat for the babies in your life. If you are passing them out to babies in your neighborhood things like bananas, cuties, or avocados work well since they are naturally pre-packaged. Draw fun Halloween faces on them to make them more festive!

4. No Sugar Pumpkin Muffins

If you are wanting to bake a special treat for babies or toddlers – these no sugar pumpkin muffins are a great choice! Just be sure to leave out the chocolate chips for the littles and these muffins contain no sweetener or sugar (just dates!)

5.

Toddler Cookies

I designed this cookie recipe just for my son when he was 1 year old and we were still avoiding any added sweetener. Sweetened with dates and loaded with goodness (even carrots) – these are a fun snack to make for your kids or other close toddlers for any occasion.

6. Mandarin Oranges Fruit Cup (Jack O Lantern Style)

I enjoyed making these mandarin orange Jack O Lantern fruit cups! They are a fun and festive way to serve a Halloween snack to toddlers at preschool, church, or to hand out in your neighborhood.

Other Non Candy Treat Ideas for Toddlers and Older Kids

These ideas may not work best for all babies, but are perfect for toddlers and older kids.

1. Larabars or RX Kids

The mini Larabars or regular size will work perfectly. Larabars are made with nuts and dates, so while they are not allergy-friendly, they are definitely a healthy snack. These RX kids bars would be another option, featuring oats, dates, egg whites, coconut oil, and strawberries.

2. Raisins

Raisins are another great naturally sweet option that is easy to find in small snack pack sizes.

3. YumEarth Fruit Snacks

If you are looking for something for toddlers and kids in your neighborhood that is truly more of a treat than raisins, fruit, or Larabar, but still not quite candy, these YumEarth Fruit Snacks might be just what you are looking for.

How to Handle Halloween and Candy with Toddlers (and Babies)

Mama Knows Nutrition has a great article broken down by age on how to handle Halloween with your toddlers and I definitely recommend reading it. We avoided sugar (and sweeteners) with my son until he was 2. Since he is the oldest, it was easy to avoid it with him. We offered naturally sweetened treats like fruit, larabars, and pumpkin muffins when others were enjoying treats and he literally did not notice the difference.

At around 2, toddlers are more aware of what others are eating and whether or not they are offered or allowed any. Therefore, research has shown it is best to avoid sugar before 2, but not after 2. As parents, I believe it’s our job to introduce sweets and teach how they are part of a healthy diet. This is why it’s important to establish your personal/family boundaries prior to any given situation. Hopefully, Mama Know’s Nutrition‘s article will help you come up with a gameplan that works for your family.

Halloween dishes for children - recipes, decoration, menu

We have compiled a children's menu for Halloween so that you do not have to worry about what to feed your little guests at the holiday.

How to choose a children's menu for Halloween

Halloween is loved by children around the world. On this day, you can dress up as your favorite characters, play harmless pranks, enjoy sweets from the heart and tell scary stories. That is why children's holidays are often held on Halloween in our country.

Organizing a Halloween for the kids will require entertainment, spooky venue decorations, and, of course, spooky treats. Children will definitely get hungry after games and competitions, and then thematic goodies will come in handy. Take care of the children's holiday table in advance - order catering or prepare the dishes yourself.

Children's Halloween menu should match the mystical atmosphere of the holiday, but at the same time remain childish and not too scary. Do not rush to extremes and offer adult creepy treats to children. Let the themed dishes be funny and a little scary.

All kinds of snacks are very popular on Halloween, which is ideal for children's parties. Everyone knows that children do not like long banquet gatherings, but they like buffet dishes, they had a bite to eat and ran to play. It doesn't have to be junk food. Halloween is perfect for creating themed dishes from healthy products, because children love unusual serving of food.

Halloween Meals for Kids: Recipes and Ideas

Our catalog contains fun and creative meals for kids.

Snacks

A very simple Halloween snack for kids called "Witch's Broom". It can be made from salted straw, which is wrapped with a fringe of hard cheese and tied with a sprig of dill.
You can bake Halloween pizza together with your children. Decorate the dough with olive and sausage spiders, make paws from strips of chopped pepper. Sprinkle cheese on top. No one will definitely refuse such a pizza!
Little monsters love sandwiches. Spread some ketchup on the toast, arrange cheese strips, and make eyes out of olives. Terrifying mummy toasts are ready!
Spooky Boiled Egg Snack is great for baby food. It consists of halves of stuffed boiled eggs, decorated with olive spiders.
Do you have baking molds handy? Use them to make baby canapés. Take a savory biscuit, put a lettuce leaf on it, put a piece of boiled sausage on top and decorate canapés with pumpkin, ghosts or witch hat figures carved from cheese.

Hot dishes

If you decide to add hot dishes to the menu, for example, for a home holiday, we can offer chicken mini skewers, and potato “Smiles” in the form of emoticons as a side dish. Such a set will help the kids to eat properly.
You can also include interesting and funny pumpkin dishes in the children's menu on Halloween. Stuffed pumpkin with pulp stewed with sour cream, rice and vegetables is suitable for baby food. An edible Jack-o'-lantern can also be made sweet by stuffing it with pumpkin pulp, dried fruits, rice and honey.
Can I offer pumpkin puree soup to children? If you decorate it with a cobweb of sour cream and pour it into portioned bowls, you get a festive dish, which is also healthy.
Another pumpkin dish is cottage cheese casserole with pumpkin pulp, raisins, cottage cheese and nuts. Also a great dish without harmful components.
All children love sausages. There are several festive dishes from this product. If you wrap sausages with dough and bake, you get funny mummies, and if you boil and attach marigolds, you get witch fingers. The long sausages will become snakes with olive eyes and a pepper tongue.

Halloween is a holiday of sweets, so you can limit yourself to them. Order a children's Candy bar from us, decorated in a spooky style with various themed sweets. Children will be delighted with the sweet table, where they are allowed to take whatever they want. The stylized Candy bar will successfully fit into the mystical atmosphere and will become an excellent backdrop for photos.

Desserts

For desserts, we can offer the "Sweet Hedgehog" dish with a cake base and various sweets on skewers - marshmallows and profiteroles. Place such a hedgehog in the middle of the table so that all children take goodies as they wish.
Kids will love our ghosts and meringue bones. And the pastry chef of the Ministry company will take care of the quality of desserts.
All children love gummy bears and worms. We played with this dessert, placed gummy worms in chocolate, and called the dish "Worms in the Ground", it turned out like Halloween.
Halloween food doesn't have to be scary, for example, our marzipan pumpkins perfectly match the holiday atmosphere and don't scare anyone.

So, you have found out what Halloween dishes are for children. Recipes for holiday appetizers and desserts can be found on the "Recipes" tab of our website. If you want to enjoy the holiday with your children and do not want to cook treats yourself, place an order with the professional catering company "Ministvo".

The scariest and most delicious baby food is coming soon!

Halloween Kids Meals - Halloween Recipes. Halloween Dishes

Halloween is Coming! Creepy and at the same time a fun holiday that children look forward to. A revived fairy tale about a black hand in a black room, which is located in the farthest corner of the black house ... If this time your apartment will be a haven for witches, ghouls and ghouls, it's time to provide the appropriate surroundings and quietly retire to a calmer (or, conversely, more creepy?) place. And do not forget to cook more food for small evil spirits!

There is no need to invent any special children's dishes for Halloween - appearance is important here. What scope for fantasies - here you have cut off sausage fingers, and spaghetti worms, and creepy eyes made from eggs, and cakes in the form of coffins . .. Do not spare tomato blood, paint familiar dishes in terrible colors, just don’t overdo it - especially impressionable children can then refuse dishes from pasta or sausages for a long time.

Cut the olive and make the eyes. Set to bake at 190ºС for 25-30 minutes. Put the finished spider on a flat dish, cut off the upper body and take out the pulp. Pour ketchup into the resulting hole. Tear off the spider's legs and dip into the sauce.
The main dishes for children on Halloween are, of course, sweets. Prepare the usual cookies and cakes in an unusual way.

Finger Severed Cookies

Ingredients:
3 stack. flour,
1 egg,
150 g butter,
5 tbsp sugar,
4 tbsp milk,
almonds - for decoration.

Preparation:
Melt the butter, add sugar, milk and egg, beat with a mixer. Add flour in small portions, kneading the dough. Cut it into small pieces, roll it into the shape of fingers and place on a baking sheet. On the tips of the “fingers”, strengthen the almonds, unpeeled for greater horror, grease with yolk, sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake for 25 minutes at a temperature of 180ºС.

Skeleton Cookies

Ingredients:
150 g butter,
75 g powdered sugar,
1 yolk,
225 g flour,
1 tbsp cocoa,
a pinch of salt,
protein glaze - for decoration.

Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients for the dough and knead into a smooth elastic dough. Do not add water or milk, even if the dough will crumble at first. Put the finished dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 1 hour. Then roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm and cut out cookies in the form of figures of people and animals. Put the cookies on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and place in the oven preheated to 200ºС for 10 minutes. On the cooled cookies, use a cornet with icing to apply thin lines in the form of skeletal bones (quite arbitrary, of course!).

Creepy bloody eyes on a plate. For sweet horror, you will need small white marshmallows, pomegranate seeds and thick bright red syrup (preferably not frozen jelly, which can still be poured in a thin stream). Press a pomegranate seed into the center of each marshmallow and draw bloody streaks with syrup or jelly. Let dry before serving.

Ghost Pancakes

Ingredients:
2 stack flour,
1 stack pumpkin puree,
2 tbsp sugar,
4 tsp baking powder,
1 tsp salt,
1 tsp cinnamon,
1 ½ stack milk,
4 eggs,
¼ stack. melted butter,
raisins, pieces of chocolate or dark berries - for decoration.

Preparation:
Combine dry ingredients. Mix milk, yolks and butter with pumpkin puree. Pour the resulting mixture into the flour and stir until smooth. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and add to the batter, stirring gently to prevent settling. In a wide frying pan, bake the ghost-shaped pancakes, pouring the dough into shapeless clouds. While pancakes are frying from the bottom, put 2 berries, raisins or pieces of chocolate smaller and 1 larger, forming the eyes and mouth of ghosts. Flip and fry pancakes as usual. Children will be delighted!

Evil Witch Hats ice cream. You will need large round chocolate chip cookies, chocolate waffle cones and chocolate ice cream to fill. For decoration, you will need colored dragees and green-colored glaze. Fill waffle cones with heaps of ice cream, stick onto cookies to make pointed hats, and place on a serving tray. Put in the freezer. Before serving, make a ribbon of icing by running a cornet over the junction of the waffle cone and biscuits, and strengthen one dragee.

Ice cream "Mold bricks". To make this dish you will need waffle or cookie ice cream, blue and green confectionery topping or coconut flakes, protein or protein cream and blue and green food coloring. Prepare the cream and color it with food coloring. The sicker the color, the better. Cut the ice cream in half, if the briquettes are very large, quickly spread with cream and dip in the topping (chips). Arrange on a platter and place in the freezer.

Strawberry ghosts. Melt white (non-porous!) chocolate with a small amount of heavy cream in a water bath. When all the chocolate has melted, dip each strawberry, holding it by the tail, into the chocolate and quickly transfer to a tray lined with baking paper. When laying the berries on the sheet, stretch them slightly so that the excess chocolate forms "ghost tails". Before the chocolate hardens, stick in a couple of small brown balls of candy sprinkles - these will be the eyes of the ghost. Place in refrigerator. When the chocolate has hardened, dip a toothpick into the melted dark chocolate and draw an open mouth.

Meringue "Ghosts". In order for you to get a good meringue, pay attention to the tips of our site. Having been theoretically savvy, start preparing a wonderful and even not at all scary dessert for the kids. Take 50 g of powdered sugar for each protein. Add a little lemon juice or crystalline citric acid to the proteins, mix and start whipping, adding powder. Beat until "hard peaks" are reached, when the whites are firmly attached to the whisk and do not fall off. Using a pastry bag, pipe the meringues onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper, deliberately pulling them up to make ghost heads (like in Disney cartoons). Stick raisin eyes in the meringue and bake in a not very hot oven for an hour and a half. Let cool in the oven and carefully remove from the sheet. Molten chocolate can be used to draw a mouth.

Dead Man's Brain

Ingredients:
2 bags of semi-finished jelly made from strawberries, raspberries or other bright red berries,
1 bag of worm gummies,
blue or green food coloring,
deep plate with painted eyes and mouth.

Preparation:
Dilute the jelly according to the instructions on the package, reducing the amount of water by about a third. Pour off part of the jelly and color it with dye (the color will turn out just disgusting). Pour the red jelly into a bowl and refrigerate to set. Stir the jelly several times so that its surface even remotely resembles the cerebral cortex. Stick gummy worms into the frozen jelly, melt the jelly dyed with dye and pour disgusting streaks over all this abomination. Brrr…

And, of course, you can't do without the queen of a spooky ball - a pumpkin. For kids, a real pumpkin pie will be the best treat. And if you decorate it with an ominous web, then it will also be a terribly delicious cake.

Spider Web Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients:
300 g pumpkin,
100 g butter,
150 g sugar,
3 eggs,
1 lemon,
1 stack flour,
1 tsp soda.
For decoration:
white and brown glaze.

Preparation:
Grate raw peeled pumpkin on a medium grater. Peel the lemon with a fine grater and squeeze out the juice. Rub the butter with sugar until white, add the eggs and mix thoroughly. Add zest, pumpkin and lemon juice, mix and add flour and soda. Stir until smooth and put the dough into a greased form. Put the mold in the oven, preheated to 180ºС, for 30-40 minutes. Pour the brown glaze over the cooled cake, let dry. Using a cornet, apply circles of white icing on the surface of the cake at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other. Then, using a thin wooden stick, draw radial strips from the center to the edges, while the circles will be deformed.
