Boo Pops

Dear Sis,

We don’t know when Trick or Treat is, so we thought we better get ready! We got all our favorite candies, some fun Halloween pencils, stickers, super balls, and stamps. And we made Boo Pops to at a festive flare to the candy bowl. I made these years ago (pre-blog) and they were a hit with the kiddos. 

Materials

Tootsie Pops or another large round lollipop

5 inch square cut of white broadcloth

10 inch piece 1/8 inch Grosgrain ribbon

black Sharpie marker

William loved handing me all the pieces as I assembled each Boo Pop! Once they were made he would Boo at them in turn:)

Love,
