A Collection of Ideas for Making Halloween Treat Bags That Kids Will Love in Childcare (11–20)
Ghost candy bag made from a paper cup
A ghost-themed candy bag made from paper cups is a perfect craft to do with kids because it’s simple to make and allows for lots of design freedom.
Prepare one paper cup with slits cut into it so you can put candy inside, and another paper cup left as-is.
Attach a handle to the cup with the slits.
Then tape the rims of the two cups together from the inside to complete the basic shape.
Draw a ghost face on it, or add Halloween touches like a hat or a cape to make it look even more like a candy bag.
Since making holes in the paper cups and threading pipe cleaners can lead to injuries, have an adult handle those steps, or wrap the ends of the pipe cleaners with tape for safety.
Bat candy bag
A bat-themed candy bag you can make using construction paper is a great Halloween craft for kids.
While bats might seem scary when you see them flying around town, they’re also an iconic Halloween design.
You might think it’s difficult because you use stationery like a compass to shape the construction paper into a cute design, but if an adult works together with the child, it’s a great way to learn how to use the tools—two birds with one stone.
Filling a handmade, one-of-a-kind bag with candy will make the event even more fun.
Stencil treat bag
Let me show you a bag made from a paper shopping bag! Prepare a plain paper bag sized to fit the children’s bodies, and cut off the top section with the handles.
Then, let’s paint a design on it using stencils.
To make a stencil, cut your preferred shapes out of paper, place the stencil over the area you want to decorate, and dab on color with a sponge.
You can use paint or an ink pad for the colors.
If you want to add another color on top of your design, you can make another stencil in the same way, or if it’s a small part, you can paint it directly with a brush.
By creating and combining various stencil shapes, you’ll get a cute, original bag full of personality! Attach a cord so it can be carried by hand or worn over the shoulder.
Halloween bag made with balloon art
Halloween bags made with balloon art make a striking impression that brightens up any event.
Shaping a pumpkin out of multiple balloons and using the stem as a handle creates a design that also enhances the Halloween atmosphere as interior decor.
Since balloon art can be difficult to do together with children, it’s a good idea to prepare some in advance as part of the event.
This craft is recommended when you want a slightly unusual party favor with the balloons’ translucent, three-dimensional look giving it a magical feel.
Black cat candy bag
In Halloween, where the striking contrast of black and orange is so iconic, a black cat design is a perfect fit.
Cutting a paper plate into a cat shape and painting it with colors is a process kids can enjoy while getting excited.
For parts like the eyes and nose, you can cut and paste colored paper, and it’s fun to see each child’s originality shine at this stage.
Although black cats are often said to be symbols of bad luck, for Halloween they add a cute touch to the festivities—making this a highly recommended treat bag idea.
Pumpkin bag made from a milk carton
This is a Halloween bag you can make by washing and reusing an empty milk carton.
Cut off the top, bottom, and one side of the carton, then make slits and glue it together to create a three-dimensional treat bag.
If you only shape the bag, the original milk carton design will show, so glue orange origami paper onto the finished form to create a pumpkin design.
Orange works well, but using origami in the children’s favorite colors will add originality—don’t overthink it and have fun making it freely.

A bag made with cord threading
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7285624999019285761Build focus while you create! Here’s an idea for a bag made with lacing.
You’ll need construction paper, string, scissors, and a hole punch.
To make it, stack two pieces of ghost-shaped construction paper and punch eight holes with the hole punch.
Wrap tape around the end of the string, thread it through the holes, and tie it off.
Finally, draw a face with crayons—and you’re done! Infants should make this together with a guardian or teacher.
For preschoolers, you can increase the number of holes to raise the difficulty.
Enjoy crafting while matching the activity to your child’s stage of development!
