As with the jug monster in #1, you have to reach into his mouth to get your candy. She covered a cereal box in black and green construction paper to form a stylized Frankenstein’s monster. Lindsay Eidahl made this Frankenstein candy dispenser for a family Halloween party. Note that the “mouth” opening makes it a little harder to grab more than your fair share-unlike an open bowl. Arena Blake at The Nerd’s Wife shows us how to decorate a milk jug to turn it into a goofy monster from which kids can help themselves to candy. But you can make something that’s a little more seasonal, and make it a family craft project. The simplest candy dispenser is a bowl set out for kids to grab candy from. Here are a few of those homemade Halloween candy dispensers, ranked from the simplest to the most complicated. These range from cute candy dishes children can help create to gloriously geeky Rube Goldberg–esque design projects. Other people have too-and then made their own. If you love Halloween but get bored handing out candy to trick-or-treaters yourself, you may have considered getting a candy dispenser to do the work for you.
