Companion to: Halloween Craft Project: Make Your Own Trick or Treat Bag

If you missed the instructions for how to make your own Trick or Treat Bag, please visit:

http://readingroom.janktheproofer.com/HalloweenTrickorTreatBag.htm for details. You will find all that you need, including examples, for helping your child to make a Trick or Treat Bag. This project would also make a good craft for a child's pre-Halloween party, or a classroom project.

After reviewing "Halloween Craft Project: Make Your Own Trick or Treat Bag" you can find more Halloween printables to use for decorating the Trick or Treat bag at many websites. There are numerous free printables available at the Mom's Break website (see below for the link).

If you have never downloaded a free printable from the web before, here are the easy-to-follow instructions for doing so:

• Access the free printable by logging onto the website, or clicking the link that takes you to the free printable page.

• On the toolbar (at the top of the web page), hit File.

• Hit Save As.

• In the "Save in" field, select where you want to put the saved file (such as My Documents or My Pictures). Be sure to remember where you have saved the file (try to always put saved files in the same place, so you'll always be able to find them!).

• In the "File Name" field, type in a short name that will remind you what the file is (such as "Halloween Pumpkin").

• In the "Save as Type" field, you can allow it to default to whatever the computer picks (such as JPEG (*.jpg), or select another file extension---only do this if you are familiar with this process, otherwise, allow it to be whatever the computer defaults to).

• Hit "Save." The file is now saved on your computer.

To get to that file, on your computer:

• Go to My Documents or My Pictures (or wherever it is that you saved the file).

• Look for the file name that you entered (such as Halloween Pumpkin.jpg).

• Click on that file name.

• Click Open.

The file should now open on your computer. You can now print it (or change it if that is applicable for the free printable that you saved) as you would normally do any file.
