Applesauce jack o'lantern favor tutorial.

Our youngest started in a nursery class this year and his group plans to have a small Halloween party, so I needed another non-candy favor idea. It's not as if Will hasn't tried candy--please, he's the third--but at least I can say it's on a rare occasion. The older boys know to go into stealth mode (hide in pantry) when they're eating a piece.
I came up with applesauce jack o'lanterns and if you'd like to make some, too, you will need:
- 2 applesauce cups (per favor)
- tape
- scissors
- orange crepe paper
- black electrical tape
Directions
Tape applesauce cups together to form pumpkin shape.
Wrap crepe paper around a few times, just to help with coverage. Tape.
Fold crepe paper in half (better coverage, better scale) and wind around and around, turning as you go, until the cups are completely wrapped. Tape.
Cut cute (we went for non-scary) jack o'lantern face shapes out of electrical tape. Stick on. Tie on a note if you like. Get these done ahead of time and cross something off your to-do list.
