Party treats for kids

[Chef Mama]

I'm trying to come up w/ some really inexpensive party treats for kids. I love the lollypop covers, so will do that. This is little girls ages 6-8. Thanks!

How about a 2-4-6-8 box filled w/ candy? All you need is a half sheet of card stock for each. You could do a little bag-a-lope and add a ribbon handle.

I usually make the sour cream containers fill with candy for the different holidays for my son's class at school. The kids just love them. I enjoy making them and my son fills them up for me.

Fast explaination of a 2 4 6 8 box.

Take a half piece of cardstock (8 1/2 X 5 1/2) and score at 2 in., 4 in., 6 in. and 8 in. marks. Then score 2 in. up from the bottom across all the other score marks. Cut the 2,4,6 and 8 score marks up the two inches to the crossing score and cut out the little rectangle left over in the corner of the half inch remaining after the 8 inch mark. Fold the scores and a box will form. Put adhesive on the half inch tab and overlap and adhesive each of the 2 inch tabs you cut. Done. Here's a template (not to scale). The dotted lines are scores, the solid are cuts.
