Fall Party

There are 21 children in the class. These are just quick ideas. If you have better ideas, please share. Look forward to your feedback - here goes:

DECOR
We can use this garbage bag idea from Martha for the doorway and make some of these fan faces. The fan faces can also be a craft.


EATS
Cake balls (cake mix cake and icing with melted candy coating). This would be a great cupcake replacement if you lose the stick and make a little larger.

Sandwich cookies (peanut butter shown, but there are all kinds). We could make ahead or this could be an activity for the kids - smear orange filling in between two cookies (I have Halloween Theme cookie cutters), put in a treat bag and take home. They could even make an extra one for a
present. Clear small treat bags are less than $5/100.


CRAFT
These votives are cute. We could make by letting them punch holes in pre-sized paper, taping it to the votive, adding Sharpie eye dots and a candle. Shouldn't be that expensive or that difficult. Fake mustaches - They showed these this morning. We could pre-make everything up to the adding of the fur and then let the kids pick their fur, add it, trim it & decorate it. We could bring plastic spiders, small candies, etc. to glue on. We could also do everything but the decorating ahead.



GAMES
The first game is Post-It note concentration that you play on a wall. The second game is ping pong ball eyeball toss that could be played with Halloween-themed cups that they win. We could also use a large pad of paper and make up a Halloween Mad-Lib or two.



TREAT BAGS
These could also be a partially pre-made craft.
