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 – more on that later this week.

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.

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.

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.
