For kids, Halloween is full of goblins and ghouls, trick-or-treating and a lot of fun. Even as one of the most exciting holidays, Halloween can be a little more stressful for parents. From keeping your kids all together while trick-or-treating to candy being stolen from the front porch – there’s a lot to be afraid of. That’s why we’ve found the best technology to help parents manage the inevitable Halloween chaos – and have a little fun along the way!

The Treat Map also lets you track the areas that give out the most candy in your city so your kids can have a treat-filled Halloween!

Parents don’t have to worry about lost candy stashes with Chipolo Plus! Attach a Chipolo Plus to your kid’s candy basket and through the app, you can track its location to see if it was forgotten on the neighbors front porch, or if it was stolen away and hidden in a sneaky older siblings bedroom! Simply sound the Chipolo from your phone or check its last known location in the app to easily find the lost basket and avoid any excess Halloween chaos.
