Halloween Party Ideas
Besides doing a hidden candy hunt in our backyard and bobbing for apples what are some other things to keep the kids occupied?
We'll most likely have a bounce house.

Re: Halloween Party Ideas
One of those boxes where you put a bowl of peeled grapes to feel like eyeballs, cold spagetti to be "witches hair" etc. I used to love those at the school halloween fair.

Re: Halloween Party Ideas
We had a halloween party last year, and are doing another halloween-themed bday party this year.
Last year I bought a whole bunch of mini-pumpkins. I bought a big tarp, laid it out in the backyard, bought paints and paintbrushes, and all the kids painted their own pumpkin.
We also made halloween cookies - I bought all the halloween sprinkles and what not, and they made their own pumpkin and witch cookies.
I also bought a bunch of halloween crafts at a craft store and laid them out on the porch for them to play with.
I think the only other thing I did was a ghost pinata.

Re: Halloween Party Ideas
Oh I like the pumpkin painting idea. Did the kids take off their costumes for that?

Re: Halloween Party Ideas
No, but I made sure we bought washable paints. Otherwise, you could just buy a whole bunch of xtra large tshirts to use as smocks

These are all great ideas. I was going to suggest painting mini pumpkins as well.

Re: Halloween Party Ideas
They make so many "ready to go" crafts that they sell at AC Moore, Michaels, places like that --- a lot of stuff with foam pieces that just need to be assembled. You could get some crafts like that.
