Halloweens treats for these little ones?

So, I always make popcorn balls for everyone at halloween.  I was thinking I would make some for the daycare teachers.  But I also was wanting to maybe make something for the kiddos too.  H's room has babys from the time they are mobile up to maybe 1.5 years.  I know that not all of them can eat yet but the majority of them can eat table foods.  Any neat idea's?  I'm kinda stumped.

    It's a sweet idea but most daycares have rules that any food has to be store bought - no homemade anything. Store bought I'd do puffs or mum mums.

    Yea, I was totally going to check with them about food for the kids before I brought anything.  I wanted to do something for the teachers though and I know they have treats just for the teachers occasionally. 

    @rgoblue I totally agree about the sweets thing.  That's what is stumping me the most.

    I used to teach at a daycare.  The teachers loved when parents brought in treats for us.  We had a staff room and those treats were devoured.  Definitely check with your daycare.  We only allowed store bought items (for the kids, teachers didn't have rules) with the ingredients listed and NO nuts.  They couldn't even be manufactured in a facility that also manufactures nuts. 

    I love the idea of a non-food treat.  Maybe a pumpkin book for the classroom?  My daughter loves "Where Is Baby's Pumpkin?"  Or like mentioned above, an empty water bottle filled with orange rice, or orange and green beads, etc.

    I'm really liking the non-food idea.  I bet they would love some sort of sensory bottle or something like that.  I don't know what the daycare would say about food.  I imagine it wouldn't be too strict but they might require store bought and that wasn't really the feel that I was going for.

    DD and I will be making edible pumpkin play dough. I'll let bith kids play with it and eat it.

    DD will be getting a Little People Halloween car and DS is getting a stuffed spider. They are both getting Halloween plates, snack containers and socks. I got it all on sale last year. I'll get stuff on sale again this year for next year.

    I figure DD will get enough candy at the Trunk or Treats and she doesn't eat it anyways so any candy I buy is all mine. She would rather have fruit.

    I'm just going to be taking DD to my mom's daycare for their little "party" but I am going to make these very cute paper owl treat boxes and put puffs in them. Simple, and I know that all of the kids there can have the puffs.

    I'm digging the nonfood ideas especially the books, and am eally liking the banana ghosts for E for Halloween!!

    I agree with the no sweets rule. I'm too tired to scroll back up (tired or lazy...hmmm) and see if I read this correctly, but I think I would be more upset if someone brought sugar free anything for the kids.

    I was thinking pumpkin something with a little cinnamon so you didn't have to make it sweet but the food rules seem like that wouldn't be possible. Love all these other ideas tho I may make some for my mom's friends with lo
