How to Make a Boo Basket
Making a boo basket is an easy and fun Halloween activity! Just follow these simple steps --
- Choose a basket. Decorative plastic buckets from the craft store or dollar store work great!
- Choose your goodies. We found an adorable black cat toy to include, plus we filled the basket with plenty of Reese's peanut butter cups. You could include other types of candy (even homemade treats), Halloween-themed hidden picture puzzles or other games, or $5 gift cards to Starbucks!
- Load up your basket! Add all of your boo basket goodies, and then top with the free printable.
- Drop off your boo basket to your friends, neighbors, or family! We think this is a really fun way to celebrate a no-contact Halloween in 2020.
