Halloween Party and Decorations
Comments (11)The strawberries were supposed to be white chocolate covered. But when I melted the chips in the microwave, it became grainy and wouldn't stick to the berries. So I made a simple icing with half & half and powdered sugar. That stuck to them really well and they still tasted good. I was going to cut the crescent roll dough in strips and wrap them around the little smokies to look like little mummies, but I ran out of time and ended up just tearing off pieces and wrapping them around the smokies. It tasted the same and saved a lot of time. It took me about 10 hours on Saturday to get all the food ready. I also had crinkle-cut carrots to go with the dip, but I had put them in a different crisper from the other veggies and forgot to put them out! We always have a good time - our neighborhood is a party place....See MoreToddler Halloween Party
Comments (4)I teach 2 year olds at a preschool, and also have four kids of my own, with my third being 2. A few things that 2's love: Cover a table or two with craft paper and let them decorate it with markers or crayons Shaving cream sculptures (just let them play with it on a table, great for doing right after a messy craft or messy cupcakes) have a bucket of water nearby to rinse off hands in afterwards. Dance on bubble wrap (amazingly fun to pop by jumping and dancing, does not have to be haloween music) Make popup finger puppets by putting a halloween sticker onto the top of a popsicle stick, then cut a little slit into the bottom of a dixie cup, and insert the stick into the hole so that the sticker part is inside the cup, and the stick is coming out of the bottom like a handle. The child can hold the cup and the stck and make the sticker popup and say "Boo!" This can keep them busy for soooooooo long!!!!!!!!!! It is one of my favorite crafts for this age. my oldest is six and STILL gets a kick out of it! I cannot tell you what a big hit this has been with every child I have tried it with! (We make them for evry holiday: a groundhog in Feb, flowers in Spring, santa in a chimney, family photos anytime.......) Another great fave, this will keep them busy for quite a while: buy or make cupcake with plain icing and let the kids decorate their own cupcake with sprinkles and candy, etc. WATCH FOR CHOKING HAZARDS!!!!!!!! Make ghosts out of lollipops with tissues and rubber bands. draw on eyes, etc. make sure you have mirrors out, if possible-- at this age seeing themselves in costume is great entertainment as well!!! Good luck!!! I would be tempted to skip the pinata and the trick-or-treating, or at least do them minimally. Everyone gets so much candy at this time of year!...See MoreHalloween party for 2 year olds
Comments (3)I've been searching for Halloween crafts for my son that just turned 2. We made salt dough (1c flour, 1c salt, 1/2 c water - just stir and squish) yesterday in various Halloween colored. I squeezed the black and green through a garlic press. He enjoyed squishing the "worms" back together. I left some of the dough white and any odd shaped white thing could be stood up and eyes added to look like a ghost. I cut an orange circle out and various yellow shapes out of construction paper for him to make a jack-o-lantern. I helped a bit with the glue stick, and let him decide where the eyes and such would go. You would laugh out loud if you saw the awkward pumpkin that was created, it's just too cute. We used traces of his feet for ghosts w/ the toes at the bottom and his hand prints for bat wings and spider legs. All out of constuction paper w/ different shapes cut for the bodies and heads. The Family Fun website has lots of ideas w/ an option of searching with the "craft finder" for a holiday and age of the crafter. Next we are going to try egg carton pumpkins and spiders (with legs made from pipe cleaners). Have fun!...See MoreTots Halloween Party
