Crazy Aaron's Offers Alternative Treats for Halloween

by Naugatuck Patch Mayor Nancy Sasso Janis

With Halloween right around the corner, many are searching for creative, candy-free treats. This year, you can surprise your trick-or-treaters with a fun and imaginative alternative to sugary snacks.

Crazy Aaron's, a company based in Pennsylvania, has just launched a new collection of Halloween-themed sensory products that delightfully fit the bill. The products not only offer a unique experience, but they also encourage creativity and play, making them a hit with kids of all ages.

Press materials list some of the spook-tacular Halloween products.

Monster Mash Halloween Mini Cup: A 1-ounce mini cup of Land of Dough, eco-friendly and colorful dough that brings monsters to life in kids’ hands.

Trick or Treat Halloween Mini Cup: This dough-packed mini cup is perfect for little ghouls looking for a playful treat.

Spooky Spirit Halloween Mini Cup: Fun, sparkly dough in a festive Halloween-themed cup.
Mini Zombie Party Thinking Putty Tin: A 2" tin of Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty that will captivate kids with its eerie zombie glow.

Mini Haunted House Thinking Putty Tin: Shimmering, stretchable putty with a haunted theme, perfect for spooky playtime.

Mini Skeleton Thinking Putty Tin: Add a bone-chilling twist to Halloween night with this creepy, skeleton-inspired putty.

The Crazy Aaron’s products are interactive, reusable, and sugar-free, and they’re also small enough to hand out to trick-or-treaters, which makes them an ideal candy alternative.

Crazy Aaron’s, established in 1998, is celebrating 25 years of fun. Crazy Aaron Enterprises is located in Norristown, PA. Their motto is “At Crazy Aaron’s, we’re proud to create innovative products that inspire curiosity for people.”

I was able to check out the 2 inch mini tin of Skeleton Glow “Thinking Putty.” It arrived well-sealed in a tiny silver tin, the orange putty topped with a plastic “Crazy Aaron’s Official Seal of Approval.” I found it fun to knead the product and watch the tiny skeleton heads rotate through the orange putty and potentially glow in the dark.

This made in the USA product is recommended for ages 3 and up, because the small parts present a choking hazard. It also contains a warning that the product should not be used as ear plugs and may stick to clothing, hair and fabric, and may contain colorant that can stain.

I also got to use the company’s “Land of Dough” brand of Trick or Treat handcrafted play dough. The USA-made product is sold in a small, colorful paper carton and in honor of the holiday is a mix of red and orange “reimagined” colored dough. The top of the carton arrived sealed in plastic to keep the product soft.

The dough is not for eating and contains wheat.

Both of these items would be great to hand out to trick or treaters. If anyone is looking for something that is not candy to distribute, these items will definitely fit the bill.
