Here are some super simple pumpkin and ghost Halloween treats kids can make.

These cuties are a fun idea to hand out to trick or treaters and they’d also make quick and easy DIY Halloween party favours too.

We like to use them for reverse trick or treating though.

This craft was first published in 2019 and has been updated and reshared for today’s audience.

Halloween pumpkin and ghost treats

I’m one of those people who love homemade goodies, especially treats! 

Unfortunately I don’t have a flair for baking, rather a flair for burning things and failed baking instead, haha. 

Good thing these handmade pumpkin and ghost treat bundles don’t require any baking at all. They’re as easy to make as they look, and you can individualise them and add your own creative touch by designing different spooky faces to glue onto the front.

Here’s how to make some at home…

How to make pumpkin and ghost Halloween treats

You will need:

  • Tissue paper in white and orange, cut into squares approx 25-30cm (it doesn’t need to be exact)
  • Marshmallows
  • Pipe cleaners
  • White paper
  • Black marker
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick

How to:

Place a pile of marshmallows in the centre of your tissue paper square. I make the bundle 2 sheets thick.

Place the marshmallows onto the tissue paper square

Wrap it into a bundle and twist a pipe cleaner around the top. Curl the pipe cleaner around your finger or a pencil to turn it into a spring.

Wrap it into a bundle and secure with a pipe cleaner

Next, on a scrap of white paper, draw two eyes and a mouth. For the ghost, make them spooky and for the pumpkin make them look like Jack-o-lantern features.

steps - draw a spooky face and cut it out

Cut the features out and glue onto the front of the bundle with a glue stick.

    I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own.
