Today we had a Halloween playgroup at our house with 6 toddlers and 2 infants. I had run across all kinds of cute ideas on various blogs to I was inspired.
We ate a "banana-
pede" made of banana, peanut butter, pretzel sticks and raisins.
We had eye balls made from hard boiled eggs and olives. Katherine was not a fan of these but they were all eaten so somebody liked them.
These were mummy hot dogs. They are kind of like pigs in a blanket but made with
bread sticks. They were cute.
We had a craft time with two crafts. They used Halloween shaped cookie cutters dipped in paints to "stamp" on paper.
The other craft was making "splat monsters" where you use an eye dropper to drip paint and then fold the paper in half. We then glued googly eyes on.
We were supposed to paint pumpkins as well but it was a bit chaotic and we ran out of time and attention span. So, after nap Katherine and I painted her pumpkin. I had a palate of 5 colors all neatly poured onto a plate. Katherine had more fun mixing the colors than I could have imagined so we ended up with a pumpkin with a swirl of colors that blended to be a nasty greenish brown. My pumpkin had one side with a face and the other side was painted by Katherine in this same icky color. Katherine has decided that all painting projects need to be
finger paint so we explored that a little as well.
