Halloween is Around the Corner...
Aside from the traditional pumpkins, you can
turn your home into a wonderland of ghosts and goblins.
First, ensure you have a variety of different sized pumpkins. Go for a family
outing to a pumpkin patch and everyone can select their favorites. The large
ones you can carve and decorate and the smaller ones you can place in the living
room, den, children’s room or wherever you deem appropriate.
Using black construction paper, you can make a stream of bats and hang them on
the wall of your kitchen or living room. Or, you can simply attach them to the
walls using tape. In addition, you can always purchase the black and orange
streamers and decorate the rec room or den.
Want to add a few ghosts to your home? All you need is a white sheet, a wire
hanger, and black magic marker. With the magic marker, make the eyes and nose on
the sheet. Put the sheet over a wire hanger, ensuring the top of the hanger is
pushed through the top of the sheet, then hang it where there is an open window
and watch is move on a windy day.
Here is another decorating idea which will delight your kids as well. Take some
empty coffee cans and cover them with white paper. Then take some gauze and wrap
them up, like a mummy. Using a black magic marker, draw in the eyes and voila,
you have a candy mummy holder.
Baking is a big part of Halloween. Making cupcakes or cookies with orange icing.
Adding candy corns would not only make a lovely centerpiece for your table, but
can be given out as treats to the kids.
Have witches been flying past your home? Using black fabric, and making one side
of a black pointed hat out of cardboard, each can be tacked to your front door.
Don’t forget the broom.
