Preschool Halloween Party

I hosted our preschool Halloween party today, and it was so much fun! Next to Christmas, Halloween is my favorite. I was so excited when I got assigned this party.

For the games, we first did a little "Halloween Find" where the kids had to find various Halloween items like skeletons, spiders, and candy in a big cake pan filled with corn and rice. Then we did pumpkin bowling followed by decorating pumpkins and then a cake walk.

For food we had "Mummy Roll-ups"--ham and cream cheese and raspberry chipotle tortilla rolls, "Goblin's blood and worms" for a drink--a cherry carbonated drink with gummy worm icecubes, "graveyard grub"--a skeleton veggie tray, "Jack-o-Lantern Smiles"--apples for lips with marshmallows in between for teeth, "Monster Munch"-fun foods like Chex, pretzels, M&M's, Reese's Pieces, candy corn, and peanuts mixed with melted white chocolate, and then mini cheese bites with bat toothpicks.

Natalie was Rapunzel (equipped with a frying pan and Pascal the Chameleon), and Blake was a cute little tiger.

Our cute little preschool group all dressed up!

My sweet kiddos.

Decorating pumpkins. Thanks moms for your help!

Frankenstein cupcakes for the cake walk.

Spider cupcakes 'cause I got tired of making Frankenstein ones.

I hope the kids had a blast, 'cause I had fun planning and hosting it!

Geeez Christine! I am amazed! You did such a great job with that Halloween party. Who in the world did you get your creativeness from? I must have missed out on that gene.
