When I was a bit 'of tot, I loved Halloween, as the left side. When my friends dress in costume for trick or treat was the princess, I was the scariest costume I could find look for a girl.
That was decades ago. I am now a grandmother, a wonderful grandson who loves Halloween, but does not like scary things. Witches, skeletons and scarecrows all his nightmares. That led me to reflect on the creation of a child and the sweetest Halloween party for young children, say> Pre-school to about the second class - one that is heavy on fun, but the light on the shock.
If you are planning a Halloween party for a group of younger children, and do not want to scare the pants off, these ideas are useful:
A feast for the children during the day. This is of course less afraid, and if the parents are planning to visit your Halloween party for adults in the evening, does not interfere. If the weather is nice, you canParty in the courtyard.
If you want a party during the day, is on the children trick or treat in the early evening, when a group (you want the help of a few volunteer parents) to take. Then, all the children go back to your home for one or two hours after the goodies throughout the neighborhood.
Encourage everyone to come in costume, but are not part on the costumes. Wear a funny hat or a wig can be colored as much fun as wearing an elaborateCostume.
Decorate for fun. Happy smiling pumpkins and ghosts are more fun for children as ghouls and goblins. Crepe paper in orange and black can be hung or placed on the tables. A tablecloth is a fun theme such as sweets, Happy Jack-o-lanterns, or falling leaves to help tone and boys in the mood for Halloween fun. Or just buy some fabric and cheap orange substance on the table to meet with him. disposable plates and napkins are easilyHalloween colors to complement your decor.
For food, keep things simple. You can have everything from ordering pizza or do this by creating a sandwich smorgasbord grilled hot dogs and hamburgers. Do not worry about looking for food scary or serious. If you prefer, you can pizza little Halloween-ish and catchy as "stone pizza or hot dog" scary Hot Dogs ". Do not forget the "sandwich smorgasbord shouting strange." Serve punch, is"Frightening carbon dioxide." You get the idea.
Play music in the background Halloween - Halloween fun music. The Monster Mash, Purple People Eater, Ghostbusters and The Addams Family Theme Song "are good examples of music fun and friendly Halloween. Let the children make their dances, songs, funny, or teach them the words and have a Halloween sing-a-long.
For additional entertainment, children can play pin the nose on the pumpkin, or the tail ofblack cat. Or buy your Halloween or Pinata and type out each child a test of whacking the stuffing. You can also decorate Halloween cookies for your little guests to take home. Use Halloween cookie cutters to make it easier for a batch of sugar cookies before the party. They have orange, black and white glaze is ready, and let each child decorate some cookies.
If you want to party favors or goodie bags to give to your guests, avoid the cheap plastic toys and sweeter.Instead, a small box of crayons and a coloring book or give a small pack of Play Doh each child.
For young Halloween revelers, keep it light and keep happy. The disturbing and scary stuff can wait a couple of years.
