Ghost
Cookies
Using peanut shaped cookies, spread with white frosting or marshmallow
fluff, add chocolate chips for eyes and nose. OR Dip Nutter Butter cookies
in melted white chocolate and let completely dry. Then let the kids decorate the face with frosting
and chocolate chips.
Have a Costume Swap Party
Save money and have fun by having a pre-Halloween costume making/costume
swap party. Invite all the parents and kids in your circle. Have everyone
bring old costumes, or costume elements. Encourage creativity by letting
the kids play dress-up. It helps to separate costume elements into piles
such as wigs, hats, masks, dresses, pants, shirts, jewelry, etc. This
a fun a party idea where parents get to visit, the kids get to play and
everyone goes home with a new Halloween costume. You can also have crafts
set up so kids can make their own masks, costumes or accessories.
Graveyard Pudding
Put chocolate pudding in clear plastic containers and place a gummy worm
or two in the pudding half submerged. Cover the top of the pudding with
crushed chocolate Oreo® cookie crumbs.Have one of the worms peeking
out of the dirt.
Potato Ghosts & Bat Shaped Meatloaf
Hand sculpt mashed potatoes to look like ghosts and place on an oiled
baking sheet. Brush with melted butter, and put in the oven to heat and
brown a little. Serve potato ghosts with bat shaped meat loaf, by using
a bat shaped cookie cutter to form the individual portions before baking.
Spooky Sandwich Puzzles
Let the children make their own peanut butter sandwiches with two pieces
of bread. Give each child a Halloween cookie cutter and let them press
the shape out of the center of their sandwich. They will now have a "spooky
sandwich puzzle."
Scrambled Brains
Scrambled eggs feel and look like brains -- add a few drops of green,
red and blue food coloring as you're beating the eggs and the final product
will come out delightfully drab, yet delicious gray.
"Hand" Snacks
You'll need some clear plastic food server gloves (one for each child),
some popcorn, candy corn and a bit of yarn or ribbon. Take glove and place
a candy corn in each of the fingers to represent a fingernail. Fill the
rest of the glove with popcorn and tie the top of the glove with yarn
or ribbon.
Swamp Slime
Prepare some green jello according to package directions, when it starts
to solidify, divide it into two containers. Stir in various gummy bugs
to the first container. Beat the rest of the jello with some whipped cream
or cool whip and add to the top of the slime. Let set.
Demonic Jello
Regular green food coloring does interesting things to orange Jello. Make
a bowl and when it's semi-solid drip several drops of green coloring onto
the surface and stir in gently. They'll swirl into dark funnel clouds.
Buggy Ice
Freeze ice cubes with raisins in them to look like bugs.
Witch Hat Cookies (No bake)
Take Oreo® cookies and place them on wax paper. Place an unwrapped
Hershey's kiss in the middle of the cookie attaching it with a dab of
frosting. With orange colored frosting, pipe a ring around the candy kiss
to look like a hat band.
