Not going to be home for trick-or-treating? Want to leave a candy bowl on the porch while you're out with your own kids? Print this cute sign, set out the candy, and you're done!
There are two FREE 8x10 printable sign versions for you to choose from, and a free cut file is also available if you'd rather DIY instead of print your sign!

It's almost Halloween again!
That means lots of witches, Elsas, Spider-Mans, and Paw Patrol pups will be heading out across neighborhoods on the prowl for sweet treats.
Need to leave a bowl of candy on the porch while you’re out trick-or-treating with your own little monsters? Or maybe you just won’t be home when the neighborhood ghosts and goblins come knocking?
This free Halloween candy bowl printable sign makes it easy to let trick-or-treaters know they’re welcome to help themselves.
Just print your favorite 8×10 sign, set it out with a bowl full of candy, and hope the first group of middle schoolers doesn’t dump the entire thing into one pillowcase.
I made two free versions to choose from, including a friendly Trick or Treat Yourself sign and a slightly more direct Just a Few—Don’t Be a Monster version for those of us who believe in the honor system…but also know children.
Grab your favorite below, add candy, and head out the door. Happy haunting!
Two Free Halloween Candy Bowl Signs to Choose From
