Halloween party ideas
 

Instead of trick or treating this year I am thinking of having a halloween party for my 8 yr old daughter Along time ago I saw a site wth molds where you could make jello fingers and stuff like that I am trying to find it. If anyone seen it will you share the link? Also any party ideas you have would be appreciated.

Sounds like fun, Lisa!

Here are some sites that I found...

Kimberly you are an angel thank you so much!

I got subway to donate me the gloves they use, and I put for finger tips candy corn and then stuffed with popcorn and tied with a cute ribbon for the kids to take home turned out really cute! oh and I put a spider ring on the ring finger

When my kids were little and they were allowed to have halloween parties at school. I always made the punch.

Take a rubber glove and (first wash/rinse it out first if it is one that has powder in it. ;))
and fill it with some sort of red punch. Tie a knot in it and put it in the freezer and freeze it solid. Then put you frozen hand in the punch bowl. (there is your ice!) It is always better if you can get access to dry ice and put it in the punch bowl too!

All the kids loved it! :animal-pa

When I went to a Halloween party when I was 8, they had a haunted house tour. We were blind folded and led through the "house". We put our hand in a bowl of "eye balls" which were actually a can of whole stewed tomatoes, we "tripped" over a "leg" which was an inflated inner tube, put our hand in a bowl of "bones" which were actually sticks, put our hand in a bowl of "brains" which was jello. Spider webs were made of cheese cloth. There were the usual sound effects like chains rattling, etc. We had lots of fun!!

I did Halloween parties for the kids at school. Here's some of my ideas that seemed to go over pretty well:

Eyeball soup(Punch). The punch is a big container of hawaiian punch and half a 2 liter of sprite. Then you have a bowl of gummy eyes to put one in each cup(see through plastic).

Bloody Hand Soup(punch) freeze a rubber glove filled with Hawaiian punch. Then mix white peach grape juice with sprite and float the hand on top.

My punch always goes fast so keep lots of refill supplies.

I make labels for all the foods(skin flakes-potato chips, mummy fingers-crescent wrapped mini sausages, ghost poop-chex mix covered with chocolate peanut butter and powdered sugar, etc. ).

Tons of food-you can never have too much food! I love doing Mummy fingers which is the crescent wrapped mini sausages for kids.

Decorate- rubber rats, giant spiders, trick or treat buckets to hold everything from chips to candy, cotton spider webs.

Prizes- start now with buying prizes to stash away because everyone wants a prize. Not stuff like spider rings but those $1 boxed candy treats or funky pens, slime, big gummy snakes....good stuff.

I made up a set of Halloween Bingo for the kids to play then gave it to the teacher for future years to come.

Good luck. I'm not even particularly fond of Halloween but teachers would try to grab me to do their party before someone else snagged me :)

Thanks bunches for all the super ideas everyone! I will be using them:)

Great ideas!
