Halloween Ideas

Check out this fun halloween bat wreath craft http://www.dltk-holidays.com/halloween/mbatwreath.htm. They also have alot of free printables. I love this site!!

Inflate a variety of white balloons with helium. Cover each balloon with a small white sheet or square cut from an old sheet, and draw eyes and a mouth on each with a black marker. Float the ghosts around the party area. For extra eeriness, insert a glow stick in each balloon before inflating.

Get a white sheet, butcher paper or unused wrapping paper reversed to the white side. You will also need fake blood or washable paint. Put hand and feet prints on it. Spell out Help, splatter some paint/fake blood to look like real blood. Hang on a wall or door.

Cool Prank Idea!!
If someone in your house gets up earlier for work/ school and is not usually too alert or doesn't turn on the bedroom light. After they are asleep at night, take a package of spider web and hang it from a door, this will really freak them out!!

Don't forget about the halloween movies to get you in the mood!
