Halloween Fun

Here are a couple of fun and easy things to do with the kids to get in the spirit of Halloween.

Graveyard Cake: Make up a cake in a 9 x 11 cake pan. Ice it with icing of your choice, then decotate using Arrowroot cookies as gravestone (you can add RIP to them with icing gel if you like) and cookie crumbs as fresh dirt. Then if you have any gummies you can add them too (we used witches). Really simple and looks great! The kids in my son's class loved it too!

Spider Hand decorations: Using construction paper trace the outline of your children's hands (try and get the fingers as far apart as possible), then cut out the tracings. Glue the hands together so the thumbs make the head and the fingers make the legs of the spider. Glue on some googley eyes or draw them on. If your paper is thick enough you can use scissors to curl the legs a little, (in the same fashion you use curling ribbon.)
