Back to our Witch Broom Halloween Class Treats!

Similar to last year’s Ghost Pops, we use inexpensive materials and Dum Dums to create an adorable Halloween treat!

I love these little Witch Brooms. They were easy enough for the kids to help, quick enough to make 40 without going crazy, and cheap enough to not break the bank while creating 40 adorable brooms with a sweet treat and a prize.

As I mentioned with the Ghost Pops, we love Dum Dums lollipops because they are such an easy treat to have around for the kids. They don’t have too many treats, but these tiny suckers are something I always try to have in my purse for kid-bribery-emergencies. They don’t melt or make a mess and it takes a while for kiddos to eat them.

During Halloween, you can get an enormous bag of Dum Dums for so cheap. They will seriously last you until the next year!

We only used a fraction of the suckers our of our huge Sam’s Club bag and, since we have two classes to hand them out at, we only spent $4 on our four packs of Halloween pencils from the Dollar Tree which you can also get on Amazon to make it even easier. The brooms came from packaging paper I had from all of my Amazon purchases.

So, maybe $5 for the whole works!

Even little ones can help!

I had some great help from my soon-to-be-three-year-old, and these Witch Broom Halloween Class Treats are so easy, I’m pretty sure my 5-year-old will be able to do the whole thing himself when he gets home from school.

My little lady helped open the pencils and, using some small pieces of masking tape, she taped the suckers upside down to the bottom of the pencil. Meanwhile, I cut some pieces of packaging paper into strips roughly 4″ x 6″ and folded it a few times so I didn’t have to make as many cuts.

Putting together the Witch Broom Halloween Class Treats!

***UPDATE: Well, the kiddos are definitely not so little anymore. Now that they’re 9 and almost 8, they are able to complete the Witch Brooms themselves!

First, gather your supplies: pencils, suckers, masking tape, scissors and packaging paper.

If you don’t have packaging paper lying around like we did, you could absolutely use some brown paper bags, grocery bags, or brown construction paper. Brown craft paper / packaging paper is so great to have round the house with kids, you wouldn’t regret buying some. I also love these wall-mounted rolls for crafts and lists.

Next, align the stem of the sucker to the bottom of the pencil. The candy portion should be hanging below the pencil.

Grab an extra piece of masking tape and secure the stem to the pencil.

It’s totally up to you what size you’d like your broom to be. So, measure out what you think looks best and make your cuts as wide or as narrow as you like. It’s easy!

I will say that, with kids, expect the cuts to be further apart as they work on their fine motor skills. These will look fine, but won’t wrap around the pencil as easily. Thinner, closer together, cuts work best for the look and wrapping around the pencil.

The paper should cover the entire sucker. Also, the longer your strip of paper to wrap around, the more bristles and fullness to your broom.

It helps to fold the paper in order to speed up the cutting. Once the paper is folded a couple times, cut into it the full length of the scissors on one side and about an inch on the other.

Use a small piece of tape to connect the end to the pencil and roll all the way to the end. Wrap a small strip of masking tape around completely to secure.

We used some colored masking tape to make them a little more colorful this year.

Little Lady wasted no time putting the Witch Brooms to good use.

Next thing we knew, we had some LOL OMG dolls riding brooms around the house!

If you’re a parent of young girls, this will be no surprise to you. These things are a hit! The big gift for this year is this set that our Little Lady is going to go crazy over!

I love thinking outside the box of candy. Of course, we used candy, but we added a little prize with the Halloween pencil as well. For classes where candy isn’t allowed, these Witch Broom Halloween Class Treats work perfectly with just the pencil. Plus, they’re so darn cute!

Pin it!

What are you handing out to the class on Halloween this year?
