What Do You Put in a Trick-or-Treat Bag?
Get creative with the fillings! Here are some fun ideas to consider:
Candy: Go for a mix of chocolates, gummies, and Halloween-themed treats.
Small toys: Halloween-themed erasers, stickers, or glow sticks.
Non-candy alternatives: Consider bubbles, playdough, or puzzles for a non-sweet surprise.
What Is a Good Size for a Trick-or-Treat Bag?
For kids aged 5 to 10, a small-to-medium sized bag (5×7 inches) works perfectly. It’s big enough for treats but manageable for little hands.
How Much Candy Should You Give at Halloween?
When deciding how much candy to give, it’s important to consider the age of the children. For younger kids (ages 5-7), a few small pieces of candy are usually plenty. Think about including 2-3 fun-sized candy bars or treats, along with a non-candy item like a sticker or small toy to balance things out.
For older kids (ages 8-10), you can be a little more generous. A handful of candy (around 4-5 pieces) will likely satisfy their trick-or-treat excitement. You might also want to include a mix of chocolate and fruity candies to keep things interesting!
If you’re handing out favors at a party or in the classroom, moderation is key, as the kids will likely receive plenty of treats from others. This approach also helps keep sugar consumption in check, which parents and teachers will surely appreciate!

This is a great addition to Halloween treat bags! Kids of all ages tend to enjoy them but especially younger ones. Start with a sealable plastic bag, add things like water beads, small plastic spiders, and a little glitter. Alternatively use a clear hair gel or slime in place of the water beads. Seal the edges and let the kids enjoy the squishy, tactile fun! Check out this post by Little Miss Kim’s Class for a detailed tutorial with links to supplies.
