Halloween is always a great time to have a Halloween party for children. Planning a Halloween party is a great way to use your imagination.
You can make your own Halloween party invitations out of construction paper. You could make such designs as a pumpkin or grave tombstone. You could also have the children wear costumes and give out a prize for the best costume.
When it comes to food for a Halloween party you could have such items as popcorn with candy corn in it, cupcakes with candy pumpkins on it or you could sprinkle the cupcakes with orange and black sprinkles, hamburgers with a jack-o-lantern cut out on the cheese, cookies cut out with such shapes as a pumpkins, ghosts and bats. You can purchase these cookie cutter shapes in most stores and you could also fill a plastic glove with popcorn so the glove is filled out and use candy corn as finger nails. To drink you could make some punch and put gummy worms in it.
For decorations for the Halloween party you could put up black and orange streamers, make up spider webs with angel hair and put some plastic bugs and spiders on the the spider webs. You could finish the decorating off with Halloween decorated plates and cups.
To entertain the children at a Halloween party you could have the children watch movies such as Casper, Wizard Of Oz or any movie fit for children to watch.
Games are also a great way to entertain children. Some game ideas are bobbing for apples where you put water in a laundry tub. Place apples in it and have the children try to get the apples out using only their mouth. Tie a apple to a string. Hang it from the ceiling and have children try to take a bite of the apple without using their hands; the children could go on a scavenger hunt where you would have them find items outside around your backyard; they could have fun with a pumpkin pinata: this can be easily made with newspaper.
First you blow up a balloon. Make a paste mixtue out of flour and water. Cut the newspaper into strips and proceed to soak the newspaper into the flour mixture. Put the newspaper strips on around the balloon making sure to put a bump on top for the pumpkins stem. You then let this dry until it becomes hard. Cut a hole out of the pinata.
Proceed to fill the pinata up with candy or small plastic toy items. If you wish you can also put the items in separate plastic bags so when the children break the pinate open they all get an equal amount and it doesn’t end up that one child gets more than another. Tape this opening shut and paint the pumpkin part of the pinata orange and the stem green. You then hang the pinate from the ceiling and let the children, blind folded, take turns trying to break the pinate open.
Having a Halloween party is great fun to plan and participate in for all involved.
