Steps in How to make Ghost Droppings treat bags

STEP ONE

Print the treat bag cards – There are 6 printable ghost droppings treat bag cards per 8.5″ by 11″ sheet of card stock. Print enough to make the number of ghost droppings treat bags you plan on making.

STEP TWO

With a paper trimmer, cut around the edges of all six cards. If you don’t have a paper trimmer, use scissors or a ruler and X-Acto knife on a cutting mat.

STEP THREE

If you are assigning the rest of the assembly to young kids, make an easy assembly area for them to follow.

STEP FOUR

Fill out the FROM section on the back of the Ghost Droppings tag. This is a great time for the kids to practice their writing skills.

STEP FIVE

Fold tags in half, so they are easy to attach to the top of the treat bag.

Put yogurt-covered raisins (or your favourite white candy) into treat bags and staple the “Ghost Droppings” folded tag to the top of the bag.

Now all that is left is to hand them. out.
