Trick or Treat Punch Board
Isn’t this such a fun idea for kids. You can set this outside and watch trick or treaters come and punch out a treat. Or you can make it just for your kids.
How to Make
Step 1: Start by prepping your ingredients. I cut my tissue paper into four pieces. Just make sure it will cover the plastic cup and have room to go over the side so you can secure it. No need for perfection!
Once you get your squares make them into circles. That way you have similar sized circles for all the cups.
Step 2: Now fill the cup with your candy or small toys. Cover the lid with a tissue paper, and use a rubber band to secure it onto the cup.
Step 3: Now you will take a foam board and hot glue all your cups onto the board to make it into the shape of a pumpkin!
Step 4: Let kids poke and find the surprise behind the hole they punch! It is a fun and creative activity or no contact Halloween idea.
What Are Other Ideas To Add Into Cups
- Any type of Halloween Candy
- Individually Wrapped Snacks
- Small Halloween Toys
- Glow Sticks
- Etc
Essentially, anything that fits can go in your cups. Or add different activities for each kid to do. This can be a lot of fun and kids will have a blast chancing which cup looks most appealing.
