today was the last of our halloween crafts before the party. We made paper pumpkins similar to these. ours were made with orange and yellow paper and we stapled them together as couldnt find any glue.
I havent been able to add a picture as i cant find where lil man put it. All i know is that it didnt go with us to the party.

October 7th 2015 - Pass the pumpkin game
October 7th 2015 - Pass the pumpkin game
Last Halloween I came up with the idea of the pass the pumpkin game based on the traditional pass the pass the parcel. However, instead of keeping going with unwrapping to get the prize each player it landed on took a sweet from the pumpkin, once everyone had had 2 sweets (we only had small numbers playing) the next time the music stopped that person took home the pumpkin and all the rest of the sweets in it.
In the sale after halloween last year I picked up a plastic pumpkin (trick or treat bag) that we could use for this years party. Today I have sat and filled it up with sweets of various types - body parts, lollipops and sherbet straws. It is now ready to take with us to my friends house.
The kids loved playing it last year as they all got sweets. And it also made up for the fact that they didn't all go trick or treating before the party.
I have also done this as a train.

September 25th 2015 - Pumpkin game
September 25th 2015 - Pumpkin game
For Halloween my friend has asked me to sort out the games for the party. This got me thinking of what we could do that wont involve lots of things needing to be taken with us. I was also thinking along the lines of normal party games that we could make "halloweeny".
I had the thought on musical chairs - we don't have much room or enough chairs for loads of kids BUT we do have cushions, and from here came the idea of making pumpkins from paper for it. I found a pumpkin template, asked my friends to help with orange paper/card as I didn't have any (2 of my friends were able to help). I printed the pumpkin image and cut it out, and used it to draw round on the orange paper. These were then cut out and the extra lines added, the pumpkin stalks were made from brown paper and glued on. From here they are going to be laminated so can be re-used.
Although this may look big it was cur out of A4 paper, and its not as dark as it looks its a real bright orange.
The idea is that of musical chairs, each child will start with a pumpkin on the floor and they will dance round them etc, when the music stops they need to stand on a pumpkin. After the first round 1 pumpkin is removed so there is an extra child to pumpkin. therefore when the music stops 1 child will not have a pumpkin to stand on and will be out. Another pumpkin will be removed and play will continue. The winner is the last child that stands on the single pumpkin out of the last 2.
