Halloween craft
The Halloween candy bag
A paper bag, figures to color, the child’s name on it: on Halloween night, they go trick-or-treating with a bag like no other.
The sheet to print
A big name tag and six figures to cut out: the pumpkin, the ghost, the bat, the cat, the candy and the lollipop.
Step by step
Ages 3+30 minutes
Supplies
- The sheet, printed
- Colored pencils or markers
- Round-tipped scissors
- A glue stick
- A brown paper bag with handles
Steps
- Color the figures and the name tag, then write the child’s name on the tag. Little ones have a grown-up write it, then color it in.
- Cut the figures out along their thick outline. Under 4, the grown-up does the cutting.
- Glue the name tag, then the figures, on the front of the bag, wherever the child likes.
- Let it dry for a few minutes, then go trick-or-treating.
A little glue all over the back of each figure, not just in the middle: it holds until the very last candy.
