Friday Round-up: Halloween Edition

By October 24, 2014September 25th, 20158 Comments

Best Halloween Party Goody Bag: Candy-Stuffed Disposable Gloves. We also fill gloves with water, freeze, then add our hand-shaped ice cubes to the punch bowl. (Buzzfeed) 

Best Creepy Kids Movie: Coraline (I’d recommend 8 and up; And don’t forget the book and the graphic novel)

Best Trying-to-Be-Scary-But-Actually-Adorable Halloween Treat: Little Cupcake Monster from alllielewisclapp‘s instagram feed.

Best Vintage Halloween Picture Book: Halloween with Morris and Borris, by Bernard Wiseman

Best You-Got-Stuck-With-Bringing-The-Healthy-Snack-to-the-Class-Halloween-Party Idea Vampire Snacks from Sheri Silver.

…And Part Two, the Peanut-free Version: Banana Ghosts and Clementine Pumpkins

Best Elegant-Nod-to-Halloween Idea: Affix gross bugs in unexpected places. (Martha Stewart)

Best Costume for the Rain: DIY Jellyfish. Procure a bubble umbrella and a bunch of ribbons and call it a day. (That’s my Abby under there.)

Best Twist-on-the-Superhero-Costume-That-Also-Happens-to-be-a-Good-Last-Minute-Option: Clark Kent. There is an official costume here, but seems to me you can improvise by grabbing a Superman logo online, then using what you’ve got in the kid’s closet.

Still My Favorite Halloween Baked Good Idea: Graveyard Cake with Doll Limbs from last year.

Have a good weekend!

    The glove idea is great for a goody bag after a party! Also, I love Coraline – one of my favourites along with Nightmare before christmas!

    I am definitely using the disposable glove goodie bag idea! Saves the usual free for all chaos from our sweetie bucket!

    The glove goody bag is adorable! And my 12 year old is already planning on being the Clark Kent/Superman combo costume. You’re right… it’s dead easy to make.

    The apple dentures are hilarious! I am quite impressed by the other fruit platter, too – not that I want to deny anyone the pleasure of the sugar extravaganza but those are a good extra.

    I saw Coroline at 27 years old and it was the freakiest movie EVER! (My tolerance for scary movies is super low.)
