How to Make Ghost Lollipops For Halloween

Spooky Ghost Lollipops Delight on the Night of Fright

October 6, 2010

If you're looking for an earth-friendly treat that may cause a bit of fright go with ghost lollipops. Toddlers love projects so enlist your lil ones help in wrapping each individually wrapped organic sucker in a sheet of recyclable tissue. Tie it off just under the candy with a piece of string, ribbon, twine or raffia found around the house. Then have your child use a black pen to decorate the flying friends faces with good or ghastly expressions.

For a clever way to carry the treats to a school party or to line them up for trick-or-treaters, have your youngster paint the upside down empty tissue box with some eco-friendly paint. After drying it overnight, puncture small holes in the top and insert the ghosts.

These are so adorable and make. They are also a perfect option to give away at Halloween to trick-or-treaters. We thought this project was a great alternative to plain Halloween candy. This presentation idea is also very creative. To see all 10 trick-or-treat candy alternatives visit http://www.creativeplume.com/2011/10/06/10-alternatives-trick-or-treat-giveaways/

Actually toddlers shouldn't be given hard candy or lollipops. They can bite off big chunks that might cause choking. Don't even get me started on the stick.

We've been making these for YEARS, probably since I was three or four! They're adorable, and so fun to do together as a family.
