Easy Halloween Activity: Make Your Own Trick-or-Treat Bags
🎃 Easy Halloween Activity: Make Your Own Trick-or-Treat Bags
Halloween is the perfect excuse for creativity — and connection!
If you’re planning a small party or playdate this season, here’s a fun, easy idea that kids (and parents) absolutely love:
👉 Make Your Own Trick-or-Treat Bags!
This simple DIY is playful, personalized, and stress-free — everything we love at Precious Time.
💛 The Benefits
🎨 Sense of accomplishment and pride — kids light up when they see their ideas come to life.
🎒 Show it off — they’ll trick-or-treat with their own artwork, proudly carrying what they created.
🌎 Reusable and meaningful — a long-lasting tote that can be used year-round or again next Halloween.
At Precious Time, we’re all about gifts that won’t be thrown away — creations that last and hold memories.
🖍️ What You’ll Need
✔️ Acrylic markers for bold, lasting colors
✔️ Plain tote bags — choose high-quality, large enough bags for collecting candy or for everyday use (We are all about gifts that won't add to the trash pile)
✔️ Freehand or use stencils — both works beautifully!
✔️ Optional: add acrylic paints to give kids more freedom with textures and materials
👻 How to Do It
1️⃣ Set the scene: Create a cozy Halloween corner. Cover your table with paper or a plastic cloth, play some spooky-fun music, and add small Halloween touches to the space.
2️⃣ Add inspiration: Print out simple icons — pumpkins, ghosts, bats, or the words “Trick or Treat.”
3️⃣ Let them create: Encourage free expression. Templates are great, but if a child wants to draw something unexpected or totally non-Halloween, let them! Their creativity is the point.
4️⃣ Show it off: Once dry, hang the bags or snap a group photo before they head out for candy.
💡 Extend the fun: If you’re using our Tote Bag Activity Bundle, the acrylic markers also work on other surfaces! Add shirts, rocks, or water bottles for a mini art station that keeps kids busy and happy.
