Treats for Preschool

Harrison’s Halloween party at preschool is on Monday. He only has to take a 64oz bottle of juice – but that will never do…his friends need a little treat. I had treat bags in the Halloween storage box, and just so happened to have eleven. Just what he needs for his class! We bought some cute temporary tattoos, and some of those sticky frogs (the kind that you can throw and they’ll stick to the ceiling – at one point I had two black, a purple, a green and an orange frog on my kitchen ceiling). We also put a couple of Hershey Nuggets in the bags, sealed them up and added a tag much like what we created for the girls’ Girl Scout party.  However, Harrison only wanted to use the “Scaredy Cat” stamps. Here is a close up of one of them (and yes, that is his head…he was trying to get into the picture):
 

For the teachers and office staff, we’re sending a little treat, too. I took this idea from Pinterest – Hershey Nuggets wrapped in designer paper and then put in a pretzel rod bag. This. Is. Faaaaabulous! {said in my best sing-songy voice}. I am so doing this again!!!

Oh, we were one circle tag short and so Harrison decided he wanted me to do one in black and use the spider stamp…cute. So, here are the deets on these puppies. There are five Hershey Nuggets in each bag. They are wrapped using the black and cream papers in the Midnight Magic (Recollections) paper pad. Cut strips 1” wide, 3” long to wrap the Nuggets. I used regular old tape – it worked best. Toppers use orange and black or orange and cream papers from the same pad. The cardstock used to make the trays in the bags…ugh, I cut it a little too short so I’ll give the measurements I *should* have used (hello, measure at least twice, cut once!!!)  The trays are 2.5” wide, scored at 1/2” and 2”.  They are {read “should be”} 6” long, scored at 1/2” and 5.5”. Trim the corners so you can make the tray.  I ran a strip of adhesive with my ATG to hold the Nuggets in place.  I mean, seriously, how cute are these?! They will be so cute for Thanksgiving. Or Christmas. Or Valentine’s Day. Or Easter. Or a birthday party favor. Or just because!  You can get 75 of those pretzel rod bags for $4 at Michael’s (use a 40% off coupon and get ‘em on the super cheap!)

Up close and personal with the Nuggets (cuuuuute!)

Yep. Love these fun little treats. You’ll be seeing them again, but not in as much detail, I promise!
