I learned a few years ago it was MUCH cheaper to make a fun treat for my daughter to pass out at school vs buying gift bags and filling them with candy and/or treats. So for the last couple of years we have been making our own like these fun Ghosts Lollipops or these Spiderweb Bags.
Since my daughter likes to do something different each year, this we we made witches brooms out of lollipops. I got the idea from Paper, Scissors and SuperHeros. She used tissue paper, a different string, and different printable. But it is pretty much the same idea. I just had to change it up so a First Grader could do it. And she did, I helped a little with ting the raffia on but she was able to do the rest.
Now we just have to wait for the class party for her to pass them all out!
Supplies
Lollipop
Brown or Black Sharpie
Brown Coffee Filter
Raffia
Hole Punch
Happy Halloween Printable
Directions
Color the stick of your lollipop with your sharpie
Cut out your printable Halloween Tags
Fold your coffee filter in half
Then wrap it around your lollipop
Tie the coffee filter to the lollipop using a piece of raffia
Punch a hole in your tag and tie it on with the raffia
Now just pass out your Witchy treats!
What a fun & creative idea! Good job mom!! ~ Ashlee @ thecrunchymoose.blogspot.com
