Halloween is a fun time as you see kids get dressed up and walk around the neighborhood, and of course, they are asking for some treats! Here are some easy and creative ways that you can share some treats with the neighbor kids this year and share the Gospel at the same time.

Pirate Treasure Treat Bag

What’s included:

• Gold Bridal Bags (These can be found at Hobby Lobby).
• Chocolate Coins
• Hershey Chocolate Nuggets (a variety of kinds, but be sure to create some without nuts for kids with allergies) 
• A Bible verse (I suggest Matthew 6:21 ESV)

How to make them:

• Take a Gold Bag and add 5 Coins to the bag (you have started to collect the pirate treasure!)
• Add 4 Hershey Nuggets to represent the treasure chests
• Use Canva.com (a free, online website for cute designs) to create your verse. Canva has preset designs. Download the design, print in a small square (about 2-3 inches), and use a holepunch to make the hole.
• Connect the verse to the Gold Bag using the strings on the bag.
• And now you have your Pirate Treasure Treat Bag!

Christian Pumpkin Halloween Bookmarks

What’s Included:

• Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins
• Halloween bookmarks (These can be found on Amazon.) 
• Orange Ribbon

How to make them:

• Take your ribbon and loop it through the hole on the bookmark. 
• Tie the ribbon around the Reese’s Pumpkin.
• And voila! You have your Christian Pumpkin Treat!
