Throw a Halloween party for the littlest spooks in the neighborhood.

Description:

Description
For children five years old and under, consider a Halloween party as an alternative to trick-or-treating. A party allows you to keep the festivities age-appropriate so no one melts down from fatigue, fright, or too much sugar.

You and your child can make the decorations, party favors, and snacks together. By the time the party rolls around, your child will feel as much the host as you do.

Step by Step:

Decorations
Create a frightening fall atmosphere by decorating the party room with black and orange crepe paper, fall leaves, novelty spider webs, pumpkins, and scarecrows.

Favors
Haunting Pops:Follow the directions above for 'Flying Ghosts", but use a lollipop instead of a tissue ball. Tie off with a length of orange or black ribbon and curl the ends with scissors.

Games
Musical Monster Mash: Play a version of musical chairs with spooky music or a traditional Halloween song like the "Monster Mash". Challenge the kids to dance like monsters. Hold a dance contest to see who can do the spookiest dance.

Snacks
Bloodshot Edible Eyeballs: Radiate several lines of red gel icing from the center of a donut hole, then 'glue' a LifeSavers Gummies candy on the top. Place a chocolate chip in the center.
