HELP! I have been drafted to be in charge of my homeowners association's Haloween party for the kids in the neighborhood! I have no children and no idea how many kids or what their ages are... I thought since it is October 20th to do a craft night and have snacks, crafts and maybe a hayride??? Your suggestions are needed!!
I thought about having the kids make their own goody bags out of pillowcases with paints, stamps, glitter, etc... Any ideas about cheap fun crafts for kids or quick games other than bobbing for apples?? Suggestions for snacks?
Thanks! Lori

Our friends always do a halloween party/get together and one of the activities they do for the kids is they buy candy/cheap halloween goodies (stuff you might put in a pinata) and a bale of hay. They break open the hay (outside of course) and hid all the goodies inside and then let the kids go find it all. Pillsbury has those monthy cookbooks that you can find in the checkout asles for Halloween this month. There were lots of cute snack ideas in it for parties. Check out www.familyfun.com they always have great ideas as well. good luck |

I have a Halloween party every year. some of the games include: Bobbing for apples. I
put a golden dollar in one apple. Another is tie up donuts, spray with whipped cream and
without using hands, they have to eat. First one done is winner. Screaming contest,
costume contest. The one thing the kids just love is anyone without a costume gets one
put or painted on them by the kids. I ususally have around 40-50 kids each year. I have
a tour of terror outside and lots of music inside. Believe it or not the little ones love
to dance. Every year it gets bigger and bigger with ages ranging from 2-17. I just thought
of another game we play. Get a plastic skull and play hot potato. That's a popular one.
Lots of food never hurts either. Good luck and have fun!!!
