Halloween is a holiday, on October 31, that’s essentially a celebration of spooky and scary stuff, like ghosts, witches, monsters, and haunted houses. It’s traditionally celebrated by dressing in costumes, decorating with things like jack-o’-lanterns and fake spiderwebs, and trick or treating —going door to door to collect candy or other treats from people who are giving it out.

But, what could we give out that would be just as fun without promoting tooth decay and not a standard toothbrush that could produce an egging? Well……..how about: All from your local dollar store.
