31 Days: (Day 20) Halloween Treat Mix and Free Printable Label

For all of the 31 Days of Simply Homemade posts, see HERE.

My kids are attending a new preschool this year, and I love it. The teachers are wonderful, the director is so sweet and my kids are learning something new every day. I cannot tell you the joy it brings my heart to hear them singing songs about Jesus, and telling me all of the things they learned that day.

One of the things I do miss, however, is that they don't have a Halloween party. Being a more conservative Christian school, they focus on the "harvest" instead, which is perfectly fine with me, since I'm not a huge fan of Halloween anyway.

I knew I wanted to make up some kind of treat for my kids to take to school, like I did last year, but without a party I knew I had to come up with something different. When I saw this photo on Pinterest, I thought it would be perfect for a school snack for Halloween! I mentioned it to the director and she loved the idea! And since I couldn't just send it to school in a plain 'ol ziplock baggie, I made a little printable label to go with it.


Ingredients:
Autumn M n Ms candies
Chocolate Cherrios
Candy corn
Raisins
Dried cranberries
Pretzels
Cheese-its

The idea is to include any snack food that is in the same fall color family. Other alternatives include: Cocoa Puffs, peanuts, Honey Nut Cherrios, Bugles, Goldfish, Reese's Pieces.

If you'd like, you can have the printable. Just click on it to enlarge, then right click and save. It's made to fit a standard, snack-size ziploc bag. I added text to the back side with my children's names on it. You could do this in Publisher, or simply write on it. Enjoy!

On Monday I'll show you what my kids are giving to their teachers!

  3. Great Printable! My son is in Kindergarten this year at a christian school. I have had to be careful of the Halloween things too. I don't want to offend.

  4. This is such a cute idea! Thanks for sharing the printable. I make a similar mixture called "Ghoulish Goblin Gorp," and this would be perfect on the bags!
