Pumpkin Tree

Kiki creates shares the most adorable idea for passing out Halloween treats.  She places a tree branch in a pumpkin and then hangs little treat cups from it.  They each start out as toilet paper tubes and she transforms them into mummies, Frankensteins and bats.  Glitter paint makes them extra special along with the handles.  She even includes a template for the bat wings.

Good for ages 10 and up.
