8 year old {Girl} Halloween Party

Invitations:  
*I used a file from Sil Store to create these

I

 Drink: Witches Brew Floats
Grape Soda poured over vanilla ice cream.

Treat: Skeleton Brownies
I served up some brownies and white chocolate bones.  The girls used whatever bones they wanted to decorate their brownie. 

 Games:
 

 Last "ghoul" standing:  A variation of this game we found at A Girl and A Gluegun

beforehand:
tape them up around the room...one on each wall.

to play:
everyone starts out at whatever picture they want. if they want to stand by the witch they can..
you draw a card and let's say it's the Frankenstein....whoever is standing by frank is out and goes to their seats.

 now, the people who are left  can stay where they are or move...then you call time when everyone is settled and pick another card (the frank card gets put back in)
the object of the game is to be the last man standing (that is why the title is the last man standing in case you didn't see the connection) you can move around as much as you want just don't get caught!!!!

Craft: Bracelets
Kyla wanted a 'girl' craft, so I found some Halloween charms and glow-in-the-dark beads for them to make bracelets with.  
 

 

We ended by dancing to This is Halloween on the wii (Just Dance 3).   Then we read jokes as the party wrapped up.  I chose my favorites from here and here and let the girls take turns telling them.

5 year-old {Boy} Halloween Party

Invitations:

Drink: Bat Juice Floats
Caden wanted his drink to be labeled "Bat Juice."  I used some vinyl and made it happen in a breeze:

 

Halloween Treat: Ghostly Fruit
My son LOVES fruit, so these were a perfect fit for his party:

 

Stories: 
We read Skeleton Hiccups (cute, they loved it!)
and Dear Vampa (We weren't super impressed...not a good choice for preschoolers)  

Craft: Flying Bat 
I found this idea on pinterest, recreated the template in Silhouette to let it do the cutting and hole punching for me.  Then I let the kids help assemble if they wanted and of course they wanted to decorate: (You pull on the string and the wings flap)

*Idea and template from Spoonful

Games: 

Then we ended the party by dancing to This is Halloween on the Wii (Just Dance 3).  It was so fun to watch them!  I think I had as much fun as the kids (if not more) at this party! 

Oreo Witches Shoes

A little Halloween Treat I made for my kids' teachers and for the Sisters I Visit Teach:

*File from Silhouette Store

"BOO" blocks

I saw this idea on Pinterest.  It was so easy to recreate!!  I painted some 3x3 inch blocks black and cut the "BOO" letters out of orange vinyl and applied:

*"BOO" letters are files from the silhouette store. 

"Spooky" Wooden Letters

My amazing parents made these wooden letters for me to paint and decorate.  They are a fantastic addition to my Halloween Decor!  (Thanks mom and dad!)

"Boo" Shirt

I used a free file from Miss Kate Cuttables to create this shirt for Kyla:

"Boo" Skull T-shirt

This one took some time to weed, but he loves it:
