Trick or Treat!!


Yes, soon you will be hearing those famous words, “Trick or Treat”!  

Since I am not near my grandsons at this time of year, I always send them a Halloween “care” package (and I always include my daughter and son-in-law as well!)  I thought I would share with you my “care” package idea for this Halloween

I always find fun treat bags at Walmart, and this year was no exception.  I design my own bag tags and personalize each tag for each member of the family.

I try to include other things a long with some candies in the bag.  This year I found some activity books at Walmart and also at Walgreens.  One grandson loves Paw Patrol and one grandson likes Scooby Doo so it worked out well.  My oldest grandson is into baseball cards so I was able to find some packs of baseball cards at Dollar Tree.  I packaged the candy in clear bags and then added a Halloween sticker to each one.  Of course I had candies left over, so I put them in a bag with my daughter’s name on it so she can divide up the candy at a later date!

Also included in the care package were Halloween-theme paper plates, napkins and straws.  These cute plates and napkins were found at Walmart and the straws were from Dollar Tree.

This year I also made treat bags for the kiddos at our church preschool.  I volunteer in the library where two times a week the kiddos come in, find a book and then several of us ladies read to them.  I put all of the treats in a cellophane bag, tied each with a Halloween-theme ribbon from Walmart and then added one of my treat bag tags to each bag.

Each treat bag contained a Halloween pencil from Walmart as well as a bag of pretzels shaped as bats and pumpkins (also from Walmart), Smarties candies and a bag of candy corn.  I purchased a large bag of candy corn, and then divided it into several small cellophane bags.  I sealed each small bag of candy corn with a round sticker.  I printed a funny pumpkin on each round sticker.  I purchased an orange plastic container from Dollar Tree to put some of the treat bags in so the kiddos could see them when they came in to the library for reading!

I hope you have as much fun fixing treat bags as I had with mine!  The only problem I had was I mixed up the name tags for two of my grandsons!  I had taken the items out of the bags so I could take pictures for this post, and then got some things in the wrong bags!  But, of course my grandsons were able to figure out what I had done!!  Oh, well it’s the thought that counts, right!!!!  Happy Halloween and Trick or Treat to everyone!!!
