However, with so many Halloween-themed foods geared toward older, school-aged children, it can be hard to find things that work for toddlers. Keep reading for our very favorite toddler-friendly Halloween treat ideas and the one product you need to help you store and pack them without messing up your beautiful artwork!Jack-O-Lantern Treat Bags, Oranges, or Fruit Cups
It’s amazing what a permanent marker can do when it comes to making your kiddo smile!
Grab a cellophane treat bag, draw a pumpkin face on it, and fill it up with your toddler’s favorite orange snacks. Whether that is Cheetos, cheese balls, cheddar cheese squares, or Cuties, add it to your clear bag and watch the Jack-O-Lantern come to life! Tie it off with a green tie, and you’re all set!
You can also take a permanent marker to your toddler’s oranges or fruit cups to make them look like Jack-O-Lanterns to put an extra smile on their face whether they’re at preschool, daycare, Grandma’s, or with you at home!
Mummy Snack Pouches
One of the easiest ways you can dress up your kid’s snacks to Halloween-ify them without having to do too much is to wrap up their snack pouches with either a white party streamer, toilet paper, or paper towel. Then, draw a face at the top, and viola! You’ve got a Mummy Snack Pouch!
This works perfectly for snack pouches such as applesauce, yogurt, or other easy food pouches!
Oreo Spiders
This is one of the easiest Halloween toddler treats that ALWAYS gives a huge smile! All you need is some Oreos, straight pretzels, and, for extra credit, frosting and edible eyes.
Simply stick six pretzels in each Oreo - three on each side - to make it look like a spider with legs. For the extra credit, affix some edible eyes to the top with a touch of frosting!
If your kiddo doesn’t like pretzels, you can also do this with thinly sliced carrots. Oreo makes a huge variety of flavors of their iconic cookies, so you can find something your kiddo will love!
Apple Peanut Butter Teeth
This is an adorable lunchbox-friendly snack that your toddler, school-aged kids, or even preteens will love!
- Cut your apple into eight slices.
- Drizzle some lemon juice onto the apple slices so that they do not brown.
- Put a thick layer of peanut butter onto one of the long sides of each apple slice.
- Line up some small marshmallows on the peanut butter.
- Put another apple slice with peanut butter on top, connecting the edges in the back.
Your kids will love putting these in their own mouths and making silly faces!
