Treat Bag
While you could buy a Halloween treat bucket or raid the linen closet for a pillowcase, this year try a craft project with your kids: make your own Halloween trick-or-treat bags.
Materials:
- Recyclable grocery bag, or paper or cloth bag with handles
- Scissors
- Markers or craft paint
- Glue
- Kids' imaginations (crucial!)
Optional:
- Stickers or stamps
- Felt or cardstock paper
- Little plastic spiders
- Any fun decoration found at the local craft or discount store
Instructions:
Let kids come up with their Halloween patterns and ideas, from crazy monster bags to spooky gravestone sacks.

Alternative:
Beach pails, ready-to-decorate paint cans from the craft store and cleaned-out popcorn or ice cream tubs can easily be made into treat-carrying cauldrons.
