Make Halloween extra sweet with this DIY Trick or Treat Pail Coloring Set! Color and personalize the pumpkin-shaped pail and an assortment of fun candy pieces, then place the treats inside for a cute interactive Halloween activity. The clear acrylic front lets you see all of the colorful candy tucked inside!

### Instructions

1.  **Color the pail pieces.**  
    After cutting, color or paint the decorative details on the trick or treat pail, if desired. It is usually easier to decorate these pieces before assembling the layers. Color or paint the removable candies, such as the lollipops, wrapped candies, candy bars, and other treats, using paint markers, acrylic paint, or your preferred coloring supplies.
    
2.  **Build the pail frame.**  
    Glue or adhere the first thicker frame piece on top of the pail base, making sure all of the edges are aligned correctly. You may cut more or fewer frame layers depending on your material thickness and how much space you would like inside the pail for the candy pieces.
    
3.  **Add the clear-window insert layer.**  
    Once the thicker frame layer(s) are dry, glue or adhere the thinner frame layer on top. This layer creates the inset area where the clear acrylic window will sit.
    
4.  **Prepare the clear acrylic window.**  
    Glue or affix the largest candy piece to the clear window, using the score line as a guide. This candy piece will act as a handle for removing the window.
    
5.  **Fill your trick or treat pail.**  
    Place the finished candy pieces inside the pail, then set the clear acrylic window into the inset frame. Kids can remove the window, add or rearrange the treats, and create their own colorful trick or treat candy collection!
