OK, so I pretty much followed the same technique as last year to make *Halloween Treats* for the boys to share with their classmates: Stamp, Stuff & Sew.
At Micheal's I purchased Glassine-like favor bags (in the wedding section, 100 per pack) and stamped them with Halloween motifs (Martha makes great stamps -- not the clear kind, but the block kind). Then stuffed them with Halloween goodies. I enlisted the boys to help with the stuffing part and they quite enjoyed it. Finally, I sewed the bags shut. The sewing step is completely optional. I was feeling lazy about the sewing part and was just going to fold over the tops of the bags and seal with a clear circle sticker, but I couldn't find them at the craft store (I didn't check any office supply stores though).
For their teachers the boys brought in mini-bundt cake brownies tied up to look like a giant piece of candy. To make these use wax/parchment paper, colored tissue paper and cello to wrap up your baked goods, tie with bakery twine and add card.

Hi, Thanks for your nice comments! The boys get excited about giving their treats. I really hope it is something they carry on once they are older.
The card for the Brownie Roll is stamped. I believe both the Raccoon & the 'I'm Under Your Spell' are from AC Moore craft store. I colored in the tail & book with orange marker.

What lucky teachers! I really like the card attached to the teacher gift. Is that a stamp? I am new to your blog and am really enjoying all your projects!
