How To Make Halloween Treat Bags

Halloween treat bags make the perfect party favor for a Halloween party or you can give them out to the ghosties & goblins that come to trick or treat on Halloween night. Since you can include some small toys in the treat bags, you can help reduce how much sugar the kiddies get at least a little!

First, decide how many Halloween treat bags you want to make and get your treat bags bought. You'll also need some orange or black twist ties or curling ribbon to close the bags with.

Then, look through this page to see what kinds of toys or small gifts you want to include in the Halloween treat bags. They can be Halloween-themed, or not ~ that will be up to you, since the bags should be Halloween bags.

Now, double-check your bags to make sure they will hold the toys or gifts you chose plus the candy. You want to be able to close the bag, but you don't want it to look too empty either. It should end up looking like the bag in this picture.

Gather together all the small gifts & toys, candy and Halloween bags, along with the curling ribbon or twist ties, so you can begin assembling the treat bags. Decide ahead of time how many toys and how many candies will go in each bag.

Kids can have a lot of fun putting the bags together for you. All you have to do is supervise to make sure there's the correct number of everything in each bag. One child can fill the bags and another can close the bags; then they can switch back and forth.

If we don't have kid-power to help assemble the bags--that's ok too. Turn on the TV and line up your goodies assembly line style and go for it. I like to put mine in a big basket to keep by the door. Perhaps you have a cauldron or other candy bowl for Halloween night. You can put the bags in there as you finish them.
