Annual Fright Night Celebrate with these fun seventeen (and not so scary) ideas, especially for young children.
1 Try your luck at the make-up, or let your children paint the face to face each other with washable paints.
2 Make your own goodie bags. Set a few brown paper bags with the standard technique provides embellish or an old pillowcase with fabric paints. You can also blank canvas baggies from discount stores and local craft store without spending springa lot.
3 Tie-dye T-shirt or some socks with shades of orange and black fabric.
4 Do ghosts. Fold a piece of black construction paper in half and let your child color spray white inside. Squish the paint from the paper, let dry and then embellish the white ghost with paints, markers and other crafts.
5 Make homemade slime. This is always a popular activity. Here is a recipe very Family Fun magazine:http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftDisplay&craftid=10684
6 Watch a movie on Halloween. Make popcorn, cuddle with blankets, and take in some spooky cinematic places. Harry Potter, Dracula and Ghost Busters are great choices. For younger children, choose Heffalump Halloween with Winnie the Pooh or The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad by Disney Classics.
7 Eating creepy cuisine. Cut sandwiches or tortillas into Halloween shapes with cookie cutters.Create a ghoulish look with almost everyone from little green food coloring or red.
8 Play "guess how many pumpkin seeds." Each family member or guest gets to guess either party, how many pumpkin seeds are in a jar to take. The winner receives a prize.
9 Go rockers apple. Fill a bucket or tub with water and apples and see how many apples each participant can find.
10 Making the masks. Whose art supplies and see that make the scariest mask with a paper plate,Construction paper, yarn and markers or paints.
11 Create a custom family. Come up with a theme of costume, the whole family can participate in a year ago, we were all Star Wars characters. Maybe all you people from the Far West or fuzzy forest animals.
12 You have to fight a spitting pumpkin seeds.
13 Roast pumpkin seeds. Clean the pumpkin seeds and toss them in melted butter just enough to lightly coat the seed. (One tablespoon of butter is generally enough forSeeds from a medium-sized pumpkin.) Sale of seeds, then spread on a baking sheet in one layer. Bake at 250 degrees until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
14 Playing with the stick on the tail of the black cat (or pin the nose on the pumpkin.) Any deviation from the Pin the tail on the donkey is fun for kids.
15 Making a tape Scare. Register you and your family sounds ghostly. All you need is a recorder and a little 'fantasy. Add tracks, slamming of doors,creepy howling werewolves, and crazy cackles. Play back the tape to the porch on Halloween.
16 Give each child a disposable camera for the economic big night. This is a fun way to see what Halloween looks from their perspective. I like to give my children a diary and to empty them tell the story of memorable events such as Halloween. This is a great tradition and really helps to share their personal stories, which will keep for Halloween to come to be seen.
17Once Halloween is over, be sure to post sales of Halloween fun additions to your wardrobe clothing store, the younger your children are sure to enjoy all year round.
Happy haunting!
