Halloween Party Ideas

1. Monster Footprints: With the help of a marker draw a footprint in a big sponge. Cut out the footprint. Pour washable paint in a pan. Press the footprint in the paint and sponge footsteps up your sidewalk to your front door for trick-or-treaters to follow, or around the side of your dark, spooky house.

2. Ghosties: Crumple up a piece of tissue paper into a ball. Place it into the center of a flat piece of tissue paper. Pick up the corners of the flat tissue and twist it around the ball. Tie piece of string around the ghosts' neck. Draw a face with a felt pen. Hang them up all over the house!

3. Bobbing Ghost: Take cheesecloth 2m by 1m. Place a helium filled balloon in the middle of the fabric and gather loosely around balloon. Draw a horrid mask on the cloth with a felt pen. Put some ghosts in a box and when people open the box the ghosts will float up and scare everyone!

4. Crunching Bones Underfoot: Spread some dried bread and pretzels under a rug. When your guests walk across the rug it will sound like crunching bones underfoot!

5. Body Parts: Cut up a bunch of hot dogs along the length for severed fingers. Cook some spaghetti noodles and add some red and blue food coloring for veins. A bunch of cocktail onions rolling around in a bowl looks like eyeballs. Fill a red balloon with warm water and spread it with strawberry jam. Display these body parts in a dimly lit room to scare your guests.
