Create your own Halloween treat bags
The American Halloween tradition is becoming increasingly popular in the UK every year. Luckily, it doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming to get ready for Halloween.
Remember to place a pumpkin with a lit candle outside to let the children know you welcome them.
Having a bowl of mixed candy where children and adults stick their hands in is not very appetizing, in my opinion. Especially not when all the children in the neighborhood come "trick-or-treating" or when you have invited a bunch of children for a Halloween party.
But it is neither expensive nor difficult to make small treat bags for Halloween that are easy for children to grab one from. It can actually be quite cozy to prepare, and the children will love the small treat bags.
How to make your own treat bags:
- Buy lots of candy
- Buy small empty bags intended for food
- Create fun stickers with Halloween themes
Mix the candy in a large bowl or make small bags with only 1-2 types of candy so that children can choose a bag with their favorite candy.
Distribute the candy in the bags by weighing it so that the bags are the same size. You can use a spoon to scoop up the candy.
Create fun stickers for the treat bags
When creating stickers to place on the treat bags, you can come up with spooky or scary Halloween names for the treats. Some examples could be:
- Pumpkin Poop, for example, orange candy balls
- Skeleton bones, for example, white chalk
- Ghost droppings, for example, chocolate
- Monster eyes, for example, blue or green candy balls
- Burnt bones, for example, licorice
- Dead bats, for example, vampire gummy candy
- Dried zombie blood, for example, red candy balls
- Frankenstein's veins, for example, red and brown licorice laces
If you want it to be even more spectacular, there is plenty of Halloween candy available to buy online that looks extra creepy. But if you want to keep it simple, you can use the suggestions above - then you'll also have candy that you know you'll like.
With nice stickers, it's easy to give the treat bags a great finish and create monster fingers, living worms, ghost droppings, and witch warts. On the British website kreativmedungerne.dk, you can download great templates and then order the stickers from labelyourself.co.uk.
