Halloween party

So I am looking for some last minute fun Halloween ideas for the class party for 3-4 year old boys and girls :) I made some cute invites (on simple Halloween stationary) here is the wording I used:


Tricks and Treats and pumpkins brew,
you are invited to be there too!
Mrs. Chatham, Mrs. Farmer,
  little bats and ghouls
would love to have you
for their Halloween Bash at school
 Monday, October 31
12:00 NOON
So grab your mask or your broom,
we will meet you in the
 Enchanted classroom
This seemed to be a hit and I was pretty excited about it! I asked some other parents to help out and volunteer to bring goodies, the kids will eat lunch at school so we only needed items for treats/snacks and a few fun games. We decided on doing the Mummy game where the kids will each take a roll of TP and turn each other into a mummy! I kinda wish someone would do me too lol.. I just asked another mom that I have found that I could be friends with (you should know this is a hard thing to do if you have read my recent blog lol) if I could steal her idea for treat bags... she got this from a Martha Stewart magazine and I think it is so simple and super cute I can't wait to make them I will make a blog as I go when I do so you can find out if they are as easy as they look. We have also purchased a pumpkin for each child in the class and we will hide them on the play ground for a "pumpkin patch" type hunt where each child will find a pumpkin then decorate them.

 I saw this silly idea in a magazine and I have been cutting magazines to get ready for it. I also have a bag of fun crafty stuff like glitter and googly eyes and a boa for anyone who wants furry hair glued on theirs. I thought this idea of cutting out eyes and mouths and noses and accessories is such a silly idea and I am pretty much a 4 year old stuck in a grown up body so I hope they love it. I hope that the parents who volunteer to bring treats and drinks bring something fun and festive Halloween-ish to make the party really fun because you can have Capri Sun and Oreos any day but this is a party! That I think sums up the party ideas and I will for sure let you know how it all goes! Wish me luck!
