I’ve got a fab guest post today from Maggy who you’ll normally find sticking and painting up a storm over at Red Ted Art.
We were a little slow to “embrace” Halloween in our house. As a new mum, I was all into not giving my kids sweets and only being healthy. My son didn’t taste chocolate (other than on cake) until he was almost 3 years old (goodness, how MEAN of me). But that is now long gone and three years later, we all eat sweets and biscuits and cakes.. and I say BRING ON HALLOWEEN.
Though we do like to make sure that the focus is NOT JUST the begging for sweets. We have started our own Halloween Tradition for our family – and it is a time for us to get together and spend quality time to something nice.
I also think it is fun to get into the Halloween spirit with some ghoulish fun…. And would love to share some of our favourite activities for the season with you.
So… will you do a little more than “just” Trick or Treating this year? Tell us about YOUR favourite Halloween activities…
Once Halloween is over.. we will be starting on the big “C” word… and here is an “alternative” Christmas gift idea for you… why not give the gift of creativity and reduce the toy mountain at the same time? I have a list of “Basic” and “Jazzed up” Craft Kits you can put together yourself. And then if you WISH you can pop in a copy of Red Ted Art the book and you will have a fabulously creative gift to give!
I need to get started making some halloween crafts soon too, im always so last minute! I think we will do some pumpkin related ones with the kids this year like decorating and carving as somehow they have still never done this! love the bats halloween pinata too
I have pinned! The Frankenstein cookies are fab!
I love Halloween craft. My son is off school ill and has gone onto Pinterest and actually selected the Pinata Bats as something to make today. I absolutely love the Gift basket idea and the book is fantastic.
Stopping by from the Mondays Parenting Pinit Party! Awesome Halloween crafts! Thanks for sharing!
