I know it’s a little late but you still have three weekdays to add some Halloween themed treats to your kid’s lunchboxes. And these are so quick and easy that even the busiest of moms will appreciate them!

First up, Jack-O-Lantern diced peaches. This is what I am planning to do for Aubrey’s class party at daycare. You literally only need a sharpie. Imagine how your child’s face will light up when they open their boring old lunch box and see this. And can’t you just hear the “Hey, no fair!” from the other kids?

Next, is another sharpie project. Vanilla pudding cups plus a marker equal ghost pudding! Yes, the hubs has already pointed out that they look more like a character from Super Mario Brothers than a ghost but you know what? #Itried

The next one may look somewhat familiar. I do the same thing for Easter but with icing piping bags so they are shaped more like a carrot. I just cut clear goodie bags from Michaels to make them shorter, filled them with cheeseballs, and added a green ribbon to make pumpkins! Cute, right?

Side Note: We have to sign up to bring in Friday snacks for Aiden’s class. I purposely sign up for the Fridays nearest to a holiday so I can do a themed snack. Aiden brought twenty of these little guys in today.

This last one probably isn’t something you want to send in your kid’s lunchbox but it would be really cool to have for them after school. Ghost Pops! This one was Aiden’s favorite. You just cover a lollipop with two Kleenex tissues (you need two so you can’t see the wrapper), tie a string around the neck, and draw your ghost face.

I hope these inspired you to make your little pumpkin’s lunch box special on Halloween. You know that is the longest school day ever! Trick or Treat!
