Halloween Hootenanny!

We had our class Halloween party yesterday. I wanted to have it on Monday, so the three day a week kids would be able to attend. We made candy corn people (out of a paper template, not out of actual candy corn), then snacked on candy corn! In the afternoon, we had our party. The kids' costumes were great! We had a dentist, Superman, Snow White, and a cowgirl, complete with a horse that you could strap on. legs of the wearer were the hind legs of the horse. She had a pink cowgirl hat as well.

One boy's mom forgot to dress him in his costume, and he was very upset. I asked him if he wanted me to make him one, he said yes. Unfortunately, I didn't have much to work with. I finally made a costume out of two paper plates and yarn. I poked four holes in each plate, put yarn through them, then tied it so one plate was in front, the other on his back. I drew a spider on each plate and we had a Spider-Man costume. He absolutely loved it and told every parent that came in that he was Spider-Man! His mom could have saved a lot of money on a costume!

The actual party was good. I had asked the parents to bring goodies, and that they did! We had cupcakes, cookies, juice boxes, little bags of candy, as well as goody bags that had all sorts of fun treats: pencils, box of crayons, finger puppets, etc. After some eating, it was time for the award ceremony! Everyone got an award, and they all enjoyed the certificates that I printed up especially for the occasion! The party was a success!
